Hough End Griffins JFC is a community-led junior football club based in South Manchester offering inclusive, affordable, grassroots football for children and young people aged 5-18.

Founded by local parents in 2005, the club is run entirely by volunteers and supports over 350 young players across various teams at all age groups.

Our club values - Commitment, Teamwork, Fair Play, and Respect - guide everything we do, both on and off the pitch, and support our mission to provide a safe, welcoming environment for our players to enjoy their football, build confidence and develop lifelong skills.

We believe playing football is about more than just the sport - it offers structure, friendship, confidence and a sense of belonging for children of all backgrounds and abilities.

Our Saturday morning Soccer School is a fun and welcoming introduction to football for boys and girls aged 5–6, where children of all abilities can learn new skills, make friends, and enjoy their first experience of the game. This is where the Griffins journey begins!

Join our growing Wildcats sessions - welcoming girls aged 5-6 of all abilities to play football, build confidence, make friends, and enjoy the game together. This is where the Griffins journey begins!

We have teams at age groups from U7s to U18s. Most of these teams are formed from Soccer School and Wildcats graduates, but places do occasionally become available. Contact us to enquire about a specific age group if your child would like to join a new club.
