HEJ Football club was formed in June 2018 at a recreational field in Bletchley next to Barley Hurst school the training sessions took place in all weather conditions on hot, cold, wet, icy, and snowy Saturday mornings.
Our aim has always been to provide fun, low-cost, and inclusive football training sessions for children aged between 4- 11 years old throughout the whole year. Many of the original players who joined the football club in 2018 still attend the weekly training sessions on Monday and Fridays, and it has been fantastic to see them all still having fun and developing their football skills.
Having fun and enjoyment and learning to play football in a safe environment is the philosophy at HEJ football club with clear coaching pathways for children of all abilities, and this will continue to be so.
In 2019, we moved our training sessions to Bletchley leisure centre and played indoors over the winter months, which everyone really enjoyed, especially the parents.
During the Covid pandemic in 2020, we continued our Saturday morning training sessions virtually via ZOOM video calls, which was a new and different way to learn and coach football. We all had fun and enjoyed ourselves, and all the parents were spending quality time with their children playing football in their gardens and at locals parks and fields, which was great to see.
Our club chairman Matthew Keech and the founder of HEJ Coffee in London sponsored the first Green HEJ training kits in June 2019, which was the beginning of HEJ FC.
We relocated to the Power League in September 2020 with a larger training group, and the club has grown in numbers since.
At the beginning of 2021, we created a team of parent volunteer committee members who were DBS checked and completed the required FA courses.
We agreed to name and register the football club HEJ ATHLETIC with the aim of registering grassroots teams into the Milton Keynes District Devolvement football leagues and relocated to Giffard Park Primary School
HEJ football club wants to provide a safe, welcoming, friendly, and enjoyable football environment. We are registered with the Berks and Bucks Football Association.
As an established football club, we always strive to uphold the standards set by the Football Association.
We are always looking for new players to join our mini kicker sessions and foundation setup on Saturday mornings so please spread the word and thank you for all the support, commitment, and time every parent offers and gives.
