LET YOUR LITTLE FOOTBALL STAR DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS
The Stotfold Junior Development Centre offers weekly sessions for girls and boys between the ages of 3-7 of all abilities to develop their football skills.
Gaining a love of playing sport at a young age helps to set your child up to enjoy an active and healthy life. Our sessions also build confidence levels and develop the social skills of the youngsters we coach.
OUR PROGRESSIVE FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Stotfold Juniors Development Centre welcomes children of all abilities between 3-7 years old.
We nurture our mini football stars until the age of 7 – and are always incredibly proud when they ‘graduate’ to Stotfold Junior Football Club teams to continue the development of their sporting and social skills with the friends they have made.
RAIN NEVER STOPS PLAY!
We play at The Pendleton Sports Centre on state-of-the-art 3G all-weather pitches, with access to an indoor hall for our younger age groups to give your children the best experiences when they join us.
Meet The Coaches
Our experienced coaches have FA qualifications up to UEFA-B level, the highest available for grassroots football, and all are DBS/CRB checked. All have been involved with coaching youth football players for a number of years and are first aid trained to keep your children safe.
We are also keen to develop the next generation of coaches by helping local youngsters to become FA Qualified Coaches and support them as they begin their coaching journey.

STAR PLAYERS | DC UNDER 7 & 8s GROUP 🧡⚽
A huge well done to our Under 7 & 8s Group Star Players this week.
The players worked really hard throughout the session and showed excellent effort, attitude and determination from start to finish. It was great to see them competing well, supporting each other and continuing to grow in confidence across all parts of the session.
What has been especially pleasing is seeing how much the group has developed over the last two terms. Their confidence on the ball, decision-making, teamwork and understanding of the game are all improving week by week, and the progress across the group has been fantastic to watch.
These players are now working towards the next big step of playing 5v5 football next season, and they are developing really well for that challenge.
The foundations they are building now in training will put them in a strong position to make that transition with confidence and enjoyment.
A big congratulations to our Star Players for the example they set, and a huge well done to the whole group for their continued progress and hard work. This is a group with a very exciting future ahead ⭐

STAR PLAYERS | DC WILDCATS 9–12 GROUP 💖💜⚽
A huge well done to our DC Wildcats 9–12 Group Star Players this week.
The girls were back inside playing Futsal this week, and it was brilliant to see the quality, energy and attitude on show throughout the session. Futsal continues to be a really important part of their development, helping the girls improve their control, passing, movement and decision-making in tight areas.
Our Star Players were recognised for their excellent effort, focus and the positive example they set during the session. They should be very proud of themselves.
We are also delighted to share that we now have 11 players on trial with teams in the club, a fantastic reflection of the progress the girls are making and the standard they are reaching. This is a brilliant achievement for the group and shows just how well the players are developing.
A huge well done to all of the girls for their continued hard work and commitment. The future is very exciting for this group! 💖💜
