In addition to team football, Nunthorpe Athletic JFC also provides a Saturday morning Coaching club and holiday coaching clubs for children of all ages. The Saturday morning sessions focus on engaging children with coaches, incorporating exercise, drills for small development, and concluding with a fun small-sided game. Parents are encouraged to stay and support their children during these sessions.

The club promotes equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their age, colour, or race. Nunthorpe Athletic JFC holds the belief that organised friendly football can be enjoyed by both girls and boys, fostering the desire to become involved with the team.

Nunthorpe Athletic JFC is always looking for new faces and encourages young children to get involved in football. Every year, the club forms at least one new under 7 team for the upcoming season, allowing players who have participated in the Saturday morning sessions to step up. If a child is aged 6 on the 31st of August, they are eligible to participate in under 7 football.

Individual training for the under 7 team commences in October 2022, and the club welcomes interested individuals to contact Sean at 0845 050 9278 or email football@nunthorpejfc. Co. uk.
