Age groups
Howden Clough Junior Football Club have teams from Under 6 juniors (reception age) right through to open age, with each age group having multiple teams.
Get involved!
With around 400 registered players, our managers and coaches voluntarily dedicate a lot of time and effort to develop each and every one of our players and teams, introducing our young players to the nation’s favorite game, instilling the ethos of respect, fair play and sportsmanship. But more importantly, ensuring all players enjoy playing sports as part of a great junior football club.

Managers and coaches - 2021/2022 Season
We would like to introduce you to our age group managers and coaches. If your child already plays for a Howden Clough age group, or if you want your child to join an established and well respected football club, this gives you further information about the Howden Clough coaches who are responsible for the day to day running of each of our age groups for the 2021-2022 season.
