OUR AIMS

The aims of Bedlington Juniors Football Club are as follows:
· To encourage and promote the development of junior and youth football in a safe environment, within the community of Bedlington.

· Encouraging sportsmanship and fair competition at the highest possible levels, where improvement of performance and enjoyment is far more important than results.
· Supporting the development of football and sport in general throughout Bedlington and supporting attempts to improve sporting venues and facilities.
