Welcome to Uckfield Grasshoppers JFC
The Sussex FA’s Charter Standard Club of 2019.
Established in 1981, Uckfield Grasshoppers Junior Football Club (UGJFC) offer boys and girls football from five years old all the way to under 18’s. Our training ground is based at Uckfield Leisure Centre on the all weather pitch, with training taking place throughout the week and weekends.

In our efforts to reduce the transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in line with recommendations from both the Sussex FA and the government, the club has decided to cancel up coming events which include our fun day scheduled for 16th May and our tournament scheduled for 23rd & 24th May.
Our tournament which was due to be our 30th consecutive, is the club's only fund raising event so we will see a significant shortfall this season. We ask all our coaches and managers to take this into consideration when requesting new kit and equipment for next season and only order what is absolutely necessary. Your support in this would be greatly appreciated.
No final decision has been made with regard to the Awards Evening we hold annually at the civic centre scheduled this year for 17th June. We will keep you all updated.
Committee meetings are also postponed until further notice.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our U10's management team for all the work already done in organising the fun day which promised to be a great day, the Sussex Sixes committee for all their efforts so far and to all our coaches and helpers for their patience at this difficult time.
Thank you
Tony Rossi
Chairman

*** Further Update ****
We have issued a further update regarding the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on grassroots football in England.
Following the Government’s announcement yesterday, for people to avoid social contact and gatherings where possible, we are now advising that all grassroots football in England is postponed for the foreseeable future.
We have also decided to postpone all matches across all FA competitions, including those outside of the professional game, until 3 April.
This also affects all FA grassroots programmes such as Wildcats and, following UEFA’s announcement today that UEFA EURO 2020 will not take place this summer, The FA FIVES. We will be sending further communications to anyone involved in these programmes separately with further details.
We are committed to trying to complete all competition fixtures and will be liaising with the relevant parties to establish appropriate options to do so.
Throughout this period, we have taken Government advice with the priority being the health and wellbeing of all. We will continue to work closely with the grassroots game during this time to provide guidance and support.
We are in regular communication with the Government and the situation within English football at all levels remains under regular review. Further updates will follow as needed.

Thank you for your continued efforts and patience,
