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 support our footballers by developing their technical and tactical abilities as they progress through our player pathway 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!
Our coaching 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 teams at every age group from U10-U16 who compete in the local leagues and cups in their respective age groups. Our Junior Girls set-up provides a direct pathway into our Open-Age Women’s squad (16+), transferring exciting club-nurtured Junior talent into our Senior football offer.
Proudly supported by Hawk Group, we are always looking to expand our Junior Girls section and welcome all abilities from school years 5-11. We train on Monday evenings at JW Park (U10-U14) and Wednesday evenings at Haute Vallee School 3G pitch (U15-U16). Our Junior Girls are fortunate to have the dedication from a valued group of passionate and enthusiastic coaches each season:
U10/U11 - Dom and James
U12 - Emma and Ben
U13/U14 - Libby, Matthew and Dave
U15/U16 - Emma, Kaspar, Jon, Samantha and Russell
U18s
JWFC are delighted to have recently reestablished a U18 Team to play in the JFA Combination League and associated cups. As the final step of the pathway between Junior and Senior football, this age group is a pivotal resource of young talent and strengthening sustainability of our open-age adult football offer.
With the success of several league championships in past seasons, JWFC are aiming to challenge for trophies as well as providing that all important development pathway for players to experience Senior Men’s football through C-Team, Reserves and First Team appearances. We have an exciting pool of talented players, many of whom have developed through the age groups since joining our great club at the start of their football careers. Supported passionately by coaches Neil, Gary, Damon and Dougie, our U18 players are afforded with quality, player-centred football environments week-in, week-out.
U14s
An exciting season for our U14 squad as they formally experience consistent 11v11 competitive football for the season ahead. Passionately led by coaches Terry, Warren and Ryan, the team will look to build confidence from their development and successes in previous seasons as they aim to be competitive in the JFA Combination League.
U13s
JWFC’s Junior U13s are a talented and competitive group who are excited to tackle another busy season in the Jersey FA League. Their weekly training sessions and matchdays, led by Ryan, Phil, Kalem, Roley & Roberto, provide progressive and essential playing opportunities for our players to refine their technical and tactical skills. Thank you to Baccata for their sponsorship and continued support of our U13 squad.
