Why Join Stretton JFC?

Stretton JFC offers more than just a place to play football. We provide a complete player pathway, combining professional weekly coaching, competitive team football and opportunities for every child to develop at their own pace.

The club was founded by Jody Banim, a UEFA-qualified coach and former professional footballer who began his journey within Manchester United’s youth system before enjoying a senior playing career.

Jody created Stretton JFC to bridge the gap between grassroots football and the professional academy environment. He leads the club’s football programme, coaching curriculum and player-development pathway.

What Makes Stretton Different?

  • Weekly training delivered by qualified, professional coaches.

  • Weekend teams supported by committed parent coaches working under Jody’s guidance.

  • Boys’ and girls’ teams across multiple age groups and ability levels.

  • A clear pathway from Mini Ballers into Under-6 team football and beyond.

  • Flexible memberships offering one or two weekly training sessions and Saturday, Sunday or dual-team football.

  • Development and performance programmes for players wanting additional coaching.

  • Opportunities to attend academy experiences, tournaments and UK and overseas tours.

  • A positive environment focused on enjoyment, confidence, friendships and long-term development.

Whether your child is kicking a ball for the first time or looking for the next challenge, Stretton JFC will provide the coaching, support and opportunities they need to enjoy their football and fulfil their potential.
