Meanwhile, any coach or player wishing to register their interest in joining a section of Guiseley AFC can do so by emailing the website with their personal, contact and football (C.V.) information.  Your email will be acknowledged and forwarded to the appropriate section and person.  Due to existing squads retaining some players places may be limited.  Therefore, those applying as players to join the club with a good playing background or record are preferred and will have a better chance of acceptance.  Website Email

Guiseley Ladies will be recruiting for both their senior team and the junior teams at the Guiseley Music Festival at the Station pub on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 25. The ladies' team is to benefit from some of the proceeds from this event along with Aireborough Rugby Union Club.
