Our junior football club was founded in 1986 and provides football coaching and games for children between the ages of 5 and 16. Members of the club are drawn from all of the villages in the surrounding area, including Cheddington and Marsworth. We are a Charter Standard club, which means that we follow the F.A recommendations on coaching, child protection and administration, and are working towards being a Community Standard club.At Pitstone & Ivinghoe Junior F.C. we believe that we have a unique set up, as some Clubs may measure their success in terms of the number of cups and trophies they win but we consider our success to be measured by the pleasure and opportunity given to local youngsters and them having the chance to participate in regular organised football activities at an affordable cost. This isn't to say we don't strive to achieve honours each season, but we don't want to sacrifice participation in the search for glory.
Supporting the players are 20 qualified coaches most of whom, together with additional adult assistants have completed the Football Association Emergency Aid and Child Protection Courses, within the last 2 years. In addition the club have designated Child Protection Officers.
Each team enters its own League and Cup competitions, and from Under 12, teams have the chance to participate in the
In addition to football matches and training the club have other activities among them the end of season presentation day, discos and bingo evenings.
