Junior Teams
Jersey Wanderers run a vibrant Junior Section for 12 – 18 year old's that is focused on the development of players in a safe and fun environment. Our aim is to allow our young footballers by developing their technical and tactical abilities as they progress through our player pathway from Junior teams into Senior Football.
Our ethos and mentality runs throughout the club and is implemented from the moment you put on a Jersey Wanderers shirt. We firmly believe that our standards not only mould great footballers, but great people too!
Small-sided formats such as 5v5, 7v7 and 9v9 are at the forefront of delivery within our youth leagues, and delivery is designed to increase the number of touches of the ball, develop confidence and skill in 1v1 situations. This allows our players to seamlessly progress into the full 11v11 format of the game, while assisting with the long-term player development of our young footballers.
Junior Girls
The establishment of our Junior Girls squad reflects the interest and passion for football amongst young females in Jersey. Since holding our first training session back in 2019, we’ve grown in size and strength and now proudly boast three successful and competitive squads who compete in the local leagues and cups in their respective age groups. Our Junior Girls set-up provides a direct pathway into our Senior Women’s squad, and we are excited at the prospect of seeing some of our club-nurtured talent develop through into our senior football offer in seasons to come.
We are always looking to expand our Junior Girls section and welcome all abilities from school years 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10. We train on Monday/Wednesday evenings 18:00 - 19:15 at JW Park (summer/spring) and Les Quennevais School 3G pitch (autumn/winter) with sessions led by experienced and qualified female and male coaches.

U18 Boys
The JWFC Under 18 Boys team plays in the top tier of the JFA Junior League and is the final step of the pathway between Junior and Senior Men’s football. With several league championships in recent seasons, we aim to continue challenging for trophies as well as providing that all important development pathway for players to experience Senior Men’s football.

Junior Mixed Teams
JWFC have 10 teams playing within our Under 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 Junior age groups. The JFA Junior Football fixtures are generally played on a weekly basis with regular training sessions for each squad at JW Park and/or external training facilities.
Many of our players have developed through the age groups since joining our great club at the start of their football careers. This has created a warm and friendly environment for new and returning players who wish to join the squad through their Junior Football efforts and progress into Senior Football in seasons to come. We are eternally grateful for our strong and passionate army of coaches who provide quality, player-centred football environments week-in, week-out for over 140 players to play the beautiful game.
