About Us

Welcome to the Padiham Saints Junior Football Club website. We are a club committed solely to the development of boy's and girl's football in Burnley, Padiham and surrounding areas.

The club provides opportunities for boys of all ages, creeds and abilities. We give them the opportunity to receive training from F.A qualified coaches and to play in competitive leagues such as the North Valley League.

Padiham Saints J.F.C is a new club set up by parents of the boys. In our first season, we have secured numerous wins, finished runners up in the Barnoldswick Barons Football Tournament, and amazingly captured 1st place in the North Valley League.

We have secured sponsors for 3 of our teams. Padiham Windows have sponsored the under 9's kit, C.G.S Glazing Ltd Have sponsored the under 8's kit, and Whitegate Motors have sponsored the under 12's kit. Kinderbear Nursery has also sponsored the under 8's jackets. We are very grateful to our sponsors for showing so much interest in our club.

All our coaches are Level 1 qualified.
