Many of the current coaches and committee members are former players of Wattsfield or have family links to Wattsfield and the club has played a big part in the Kendal and South Lakes community and in many players lives over the last 40 years. The club is well known around the Kendal area and indeed the North West of England due to its many successes over the years and is well respected for producing high quality football.
