Whitley Juniors Football Club was formed in 1980 at Whitley Private Members Club, The Avenue, Whitley, Coventry by a group of local parents who wanted a team for their sons to play in.

They entered the Coventry Minor League in September of that year playing on parks pitches.  After a long search by Whitley we obtained a lease on the land in Chace Avenue, Willenhall, Coventry in 1986, with the use of a derelict hostel building for a changing room.

In 1989 West Midlands Police obtained part of the land for a new police station and if it was not for the local press Whitley would have lost its pitches.

In 1990, a 25 year lease was given to the club and a grant was obtained and a new changing room was built.  1998 permission was given for our small sided teams to play at St. Anne’s School, Chace Avenue, Willenhall, but now with the redevelopment work at Binley Rec it has freed some space on our land on Chace Ave, so the small sided teams have moved away from St. Anne’s school.

During 2003 most of our teams moved from Chace Avenue, but this is still the base for the club, the teams that moved started playing from Binley Rec on Grange Avenue, Binley, Coventry.

Over the past couple of years we have been striving to become a bigger and better club; firstly by managers and assistant managers becoming FA qualified to level 1; secondly by becoming an FA Chartered Club, which we have now achieved.  We now have managers that have passed their FA coaching badges to level 2 and one manager who is a qualified referee.

Two years ago we also introduced an u13`s girls team which has now moved to under 15`s.  We have this season also started an under 12`s girls team.
