⚽ SUMMER SKILLS CANCELLED TONIGHT 🌧️

Unfortunately, due to the rain and wet weather, tonight's Summer Skills session has been cancelled.

We don't want the kids missing out on their football, so we've added an extra session to the programme!

📅 New finish date: Tuesday 24 November

We'll see everyone at the next session. Thanks for understanding! ❤️💛🖤

❤️💛🖤 Strong women help build strong clubs!

A big shout-out to our very own Crysta, who recently took part in Capital Football's 2026 Regional Women in Leadership Programme!

It's fantastic to see opportunities like this bringing women together, building confidence, sharing ideas and supporting women to make a difference in football and their communities.

At SVJFC, we're proud to have women playing an important role in shaping our club and helping grow the game for the next generation.

We can't wait to see what comes from this year's programme. Go ladies! 🙌⚽️

💦 OUR FIRST-EVER JUNIOR CLUB POOL PARTY!

Because one celebration wasn't quite enough! 😂

What an absolutely EPIC night!

To finish off our season, we brought our junior players together for our very first end-of-season pool party, and what a night it was!

Huge smiles, epic splashes, plenty of laughter, delicious pizza, chocolate fish and some very happy (and probably very tired!) kids. There was so much fun packed into one evening, and seeing the kids enjoying themselves and celebrating another season together made it all worthwhile.

But we have some VERY special thank-yous to make!

An absolutely massive thank you to Rhiannon and Daniel Jarvis from Jarvis Plumbing & Gas for helping make this night possible.

Rhiannon and Daniel are more than just local business owners; they're part of our club family, and the support they continue to show our club and our kids is nothing short of incredible.

We also want to give a huge thank you to Alec from New World Stokes Valley for sponsoring our pool party and for the continued support he has shown our club. New World has been a fantastic supporter of our football community, and we're incredibly grateful to have them in our corner.

Having local businesses who genuinely care about their community and go above and beyond to support our young people makes such a difference. These are the people who help us create opportunities and experiences our kids might not otherwise get.

Please support the local businesses that support our kids. ❤️

To everyone who helped make the night happen, thank you. And to our players, we hope you had as much fun as we did watching you all enjoy yourselves!

If this is anything to go by, our first pool party definitely won't be our last! 😉

🎉 A very overdue Player of the Day prize draw! ⚽🏆❤️💛🖤

Throughout the season, every player who received a Player of the Day award was automatically entered into our end-of-season prize draw.

We wanted to do something a little extra to celebrate those weekly efforts and give a few lucky players the chance to take home a little something special!

So, without further ado, here are our lucky prize draw winners! 🥳

🏆 Lijah Taylor
🏆 Jayah Hicks
🏆 Urijah Barnden

A huge congratulations to our three winners, and a big well done to everyone who earned a Player of the Day award throughout the season.

We'll be in touch with our winners' families via email to organise getting the prizes to the kids. 🎁

We love seeing our young players putting in the effort, supporting their teammates and continuing to grow week after week.

Thanks to everyone who made another great season of junior football possible!

🏆 A little Prizegiving throwback…❤️💛🖤

Better late than never, right? 😂

I've been looking back through the photos from our end-of-season prizegiving, and if I'm honest, it's brought up a few emotions. There was a lot to celebrate, a lot to be proud of, and quite a bit to reflect on.

Our prizegiving was about so much more than football awards.

We said goodbye to Symon, recognising and thanking him for the five years he dedicated to our junior programme and the huge part he has played in shaping the club.

We also gave a very special thank you to Crysta. The time, energy and commitment she pours into this club is enormous, and so much of what happens behind the scenes simply wouldn't happen without her. We are incredibly grateful.

But most importantly, we celebrated every single one of our junior and youth players.

From our littlest First Kicks players, just four years old, right through to our 17-year-olds, every player is part of what makes this club what it is. Watching them learn, grow, develop friendships, find their confidence and fall in love with the game is what junior football is all about.

There are so many people who make Stokes Valley Junior Football what it is, and looking back on that afternoon was a lovely reminder of just how much heart goes into this little club.

Here's a look back at some special moments from the day. ❤️💛🖤
