A History of the BJFL
After going out of existence in 1983, the BJFL was restarted in 1988 and is now dedicated to ensuring that local children enjoy themselves in a safe environment. The last 20 years have seen many changes in the BJFL and chairmen and committee members have come and gone, but the same chairman has now been in place since the 98/99 season when the Mini or Small Sided Soccer scheme was piloted. In the 98/99 season there were 37 teams playing on Sunday afternoons and Saturday mornings. The committee now features 15 people who devote their spare time to local Burton children in the quest to entertain them on the football fields.
Currently, more than 300 teams with a total of almost 40,000 players from 55 clubs now play in the BJFL and this includes the league for girls which was introduced in 2004. The Burton Junior Football League has to raise a lot of money every year in order to cater for such a large amount of teams and they are always on the look-out for new sponsorship deals. The more money that they can raise, the more coaches and staff they can employ, allowing even more youngsters in the area the chance to join in all the fun!
Sponsorship for Burton’s Junior Teams
Slades Homes, HSBC, Winkton Auto Centre, Coastline Produce Limited, Christchurch Mortgages, JD Brickwork and Holton Homes are all part of the sponsorship deals for the junior teams in the area. The BJFL works hard to ensure that as many local sponsors as possible are active in supporting the local teams and avidly encourages more companies to take part in the sponsorship deals.
The town of Burton is home to many junior football teams. For more information on these teams and other Burton football clubs, visit the Burton Mail.
