We were formed in 1997 by a group of enthusiastic parents whose children and other children in the area wanted to play football.
We can now boast a junior membership of approximately 180 in 11 teams all participating in league and cup competitions in teams ranging between under 7's & under 16's. We also have a Development Squad for children aged from 4 years old to learn about & enjoy football
Our teams compete in the Teesside Junior Football Alliance League, (the largest junior league in the country), and the Cleveland Youth Football League.
Child safety is paramount & we have an appointed Child Welfare Officer who ensures club members comply with the F.A. Child Protection Policy, Procedures & Practices.
To run an organisation as big as ours takes a lot of hard work and commitment from many people, all with the same goal: - To encourage children regardless of race, creed, gender or ability to experience the joy of football and further develop their skills, understanding and commitment needed to play competitive football.
Our club does not solely concentrate on playing football. We promote interested members (managers, coaches or players & helpers) who express an interest in coaching, refereeing etc. to attain the appropriate accreditation wherever it is practically possible.
Our managers and coaches have successfully completed (or plan to complete) the F.A. accredited coaching certificates & First Aid courses.
The club is insured in case of accident as required by the FA.
We are proud to boast that a number of our players have been scouted by local Premier & other professional clubs. Good luck to them all.
This site was set up not only for the members of Newton Aycliffe Junior F.C. but also to make new contacts and friendships with other junior football clubs around the world. Anyone interested please contact David Prior through the 'Contact Club' link with your suggestions.
Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
