Aylesbury United Juniors History

Early Beginnings (1976–1985)

Aylesbury United Juniors Football Club (AUJFC) was founded in 1976 as Bearbrook Rangers FC, a youth team formed at Bearbrook Middle School. The club entered the Aylesbury Junior Football League and quickly became a key part of grassroots football in the area.

Becoming Aylesbury United Juniors (1985)

In 1985, the club was invited to play under the banner of Aylesbury United FC, becoming Aylesbury United Juniors. This new identity strengthened the club’s connection to the town and helped expand opportunities for young players.

Development and New Clubs (1990s–2013)

Throughout the 1990s, the Juniors played in respected leagues including:

  • Wycombe and South Bucks Junior Football League

  • South Bucks Youth League

  • Chiltern Youth League

In 1998, some teams branched out to form Aylesbury Town FC, followed later by Aylesbury Athletic FC. Together, these clubs continued to develop local football talent, ensuring youth football in Aylesbury remained strong for more than a decade.

A major milestone came in 2013 when Aylesbury Town FC remerged with Aylesbury United FC, reuniting the Juniors under their historic name and marking a fresh start for the club.

Growth, League Football and Community Programmes

Today, Aylesbury United Juniors FC runs multiple league teams every season, providing structured, competitive football for boys and girls across a wide range of age groups. Our teams compete in established regional leagues and continue the club’s long tradition of developing young players through high-quality coaching and a supportive environment.

Alongside this core league activity, AUJFC offers a range of additional programmes that reflect our commitment to inclusivity and community involvement. These include:

  • MiniDucks (formerly TOWNies): an introductory football programme for young children

  • Inclusive Football sessions for children with disabilities or additional needs

  • Walking Football for older players wanting to stay active through the sport

Working in partnership with Aylesbury United Ladies & Girls FC, the club is proud to be an FA Accredited Club, recognised for safeguarding, coaching standards, and providing accessible football for all.

A Tournament with a Reputation

Each year the club hosts its hugely popular Six-a-Side Football Festival, one of the largest grassroots tournaments in the South of England. More than 250 teams take part annually, making it a major highlight of the youth football calendar.

Looking Ahead

Aylesbury United Juniors FC continues to build on its proud history of community, development, and opportunity. We remain committed to giving every young player, regardless of age or ability, the chance to enjoy and grow through the beautiful game.
