Club Formation
11 Jun 2009

Cadbury Athletic Juniors Football Club was formed in 1994 by Gaynor Walker, a former employee of Cadbury's, and initially comprised of two 11 a side teams.

In 1999, the Football Association introduced small sided football for players between the ages of 7 and 10. Games were to be played on smaller pitches, using smaller goals, and involving teams of 7 players. Cadburys decided to embrace this new version of junior football, and began to seek players and managers, with help from around the local Bournville community, to start the building process for what is now the Junior Section' of the club that still exists today as the basis for the clubs involvement within the local community.

The Junior Section' of Cadbury Athletic comprises of up to 12 teams ranging from U7 to U16, with two further teams in its Senior section.
Plans are also underway to establish a development section for 4 & 5 year olds in order to provide an introduction into Junior football and to the club itself.

Cadbury Athletic remains a major force in local football, and maintains its basic philosophy of providing children from the local community the opportunity to play football in a safe and secure environment.
