Newton Aycliffe Junior Football Club are pleased to share with you the exciting announcement of their pending relocation to Shildon Sunnydale Leisure Centre
NAJFC, formerly known as Newton Aycliffe Sports Club, were founded in 1997 and originally based at Moore Lane before moving to Woodham School several years ago where they have enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership, and we will always be grateful for their support.
However as the club continues to grow with teams representing age groups, starting from development right through to U21’s, the club needs to ensure we provide the right calibre of training and playing facilities. We need to sustain our current membership and to aid its development plan for girls and disabled football teams whilst building on the clubs current Charter Standard status to gain community club status
From July the club will move to Shildon Sunnydale Leisure Centre who will provide indoor facilities for 5 a side, fitness training, and outdoor facilities including the use of a brand new 4G pitch for training and as well as 7, 9 and 11 a side football pitches. The club will also be provided with team and referee changing rooms, a kitchenette for matchday refreshements and onsite parking.
Whilst it is a shame an Aycliffe based football club is moving away from the town, the club’s committee and team managers were unanimous in their decision to move to Shildon, based on the exceptional facilities the club will have at its disposal.
The club will be hosting its annual end of season presentation at Shildon Leisure Centre on Saturday 15th June which will give all the players and parents an opportunity to view the facilities. All our coaches are FA level 1 qualified, CRB checked and hold first aid certification, so if you would like to join a growing and progressive club log onto our website for more details on how to contact us. www.najuniorfc.co.uk
