Welcome to Hartley Wintney Junior Football Club
Hartley Wintney Junior Football Club has a hard-earned reputation as a well-respected and organised football club. We welcome players of all abilities; across our age groups we have a range of teams that cater for the needs of the individual player engendering a spirit of learning through having fun. The club continues to grow; we currently have 27 teams providing football for nearly 300 players. We now have several girls’ teams in the Hampshire Girls Youth League, having only started last season, and we are becoming an accredited Wildcats Centre with the objective to increase the number of girls’ teams each season.
Most of our teams play in the North East Hants Youth League (NEHYL) which remains one of the best leagues in the area in terms of the way it is run and the breadth of ability – we have representation in every age group from U7 up to Youth (U17/18). And we have had three teams playing in the Junior Premier League (JPL) – at U10, U12 and U14 age groups. Our introduction to football starts at U6, who ‘train only’ and the emphasis is on fun and playing games with and without balls.
Ethos of the club
Hartley Wintney Junior Football Club is a community club run by volunteers. We strive to be a friendly, all-inclusive, mixed ability junior football club for boys and girls. We aim to promote grass roots football from u6 to U18, creating an environment that is fun and safe for all involved. For as long as we have space, pitches and willing and qualified volunteers to run our teams, we will do all we can to accommodate as many children as possible.
History
Hartley Wintney Junior FC was founded in 1996. Known as the Hawks, the club started with just 2 teams who played friendly matches on pitches that were marked out by cones. From our early roots we have grown somewhat and are now affiliated to the Hampshire FA. We play fixtures in the North East Hants and East Berkshire Leagues as well as entering teams into the annual Hampshire Cup competitions.
Weekend Fixtures are played in the heart of our village on the playing fields at Greenfields School , Hartley Wintney FC and Jubilee playing field. For the coming 2020/21 season we will also have the new sports ground in St Mary’s Park for a small 11 a-side pitch for which we are very grateful to the Parish Council for providing. This additional pitch in the village will allow the club to rotate the layout of our small sided pitches in Greenfields and on Jubilee more efficiently.
Training is taken by professional coaches and held at Robert May's Floodlit Astro Pitch in Odiham. We also run an organised Soccer School during holiday times to build on a mixture of training, football skills and active healthy fun.
The club is run by dedicated volunteers, who are all Level 1, Emergency Aid and Safeguarding qualified, and who have completed an enhanced Criminal Records Check. We abide by the FA Codes of Conduct, FA Policies and implement the Respect Programme. We strive to achieve respect both on and off the pitch from our opponents; we achieved the NEHYL Fair Play award - awarded for good discipline and sportsmanship – in two consecutive years, and seek to repeat this feat.
Hartley Wintney Junior FC is an FA Chartered Standard club, a marque first achieved in 2011/12 – all that we do as a club is built around the key tenets of maintaining FA Chartered Standard status. Our latest initiative is the formation of a Junior Football Committee to give our players the voice they deserve to help shape and run their Football Club.
