Elite JR

Incredibly proud to announce that Elite JR FC is now officially part of the BlueRoots network - an initiative created by Chelsea FC to bridge the gap between Academy football and grassroots football.

As part of this network, our coaches will have first-hand exposure to Chelsea FC Academy’s ways of working through CPD days and a range of development opportunities. This collaboration also allows us to add another VEO camera, further enhancing our ability to analyse matches, provide detailed player feedback, and support every member of EJR on their development journey.

It’s an honour to be recognised as one of London’s leading grassroots clubs and a testament to the growth we’ve achieved, along with the hard work and dedication of our players, parents, and coaches over the last five years.

We’re excited about the opportunities this collaboration will bring as we continue to grow and support the development of young aspiring footballers.

Exciting times ahead! 💙⚽

2025/26 Season | Professional Fixtures & Showcase Opportunities

What a year it’s been for our players.

This season alone, our teams have travelled across Europe competing in 4 international tournaments and facing some of the top academies and clubs in world football.

We’ve proudly provided 25+ professional showcase opportunities for our players against clubs such as Club Brugge, Sporting Lisbon, Arsenal, Chelsea, FC Porto and many more.

These experiences are about more than football they’re about development, exposure, character building and creating unforgettable memories for our players.

Grateful for everyone who continues to support the journey and excited to create even more opportunities throughout the 2026/27 season.

🏆 Erith Town Double Champions 🏆

What a weekend! Four of our teams competed in the Erith Town Tournament and they certainly didn’t disappoint 👏

Our U8s played their first ever competitive fixtures and were extremely impressive, narrowly losing in the semi-finals to the eventual winners, with three U7s playing up

The U9s also reached the semi-finals, eventually going out to the tournament winners.

Our U10s went on to win the Shield competition

And our U13s were outstanding all day unbeaten throughout the tournament and conceding just one goal

A fantastic effort from all players, coaches and supporters.

There’s still time to register for our 2026/27 season trials - details in the bio.

✍️ Ben signs for Brighton & Hove Albion ✍️

Couldn’t be prouder to announce that Ben has signed for Cat 1 club Brighton & Hove Albion.

Ben has been with us for 3 seasons now. He came in completely new to goalkeeping, but fitted in like a glove from day one. At the beginning of the 2025/26 season, we sat down together and set out a plan and objectives — the goal was for him to finish the season as an academy player.

Ben believed in the process, trusted the journey, put in the groundwork, and has now reaped the rewards.

We honestly couldn’t be more proud of him. A real humble and grounded young man who deserves nothing less than this achievement.

After attracting interest from 4 professional clubs throughout the season, it was only a matter of time before Ben continued his journey at the next level.

Proud is an understatement. Congratulations, Ben - Brighton are in safe hands 💙

🏆Mytchett Tournament Double Champs 🏆

Phenomenal weekend for our club, with four age groups competing in the Mytchett FC Tournament.

Huge congratulations to our U10s, who went unbeaten all day and conceded just one goal, and to our U13s, who were also crowned Plate winners.

A big shoutout to our U9s, 12s and U13s who played up an age group and just fell short in the semi-finals, an incredible effort.
A great start to the tournament season… let the fun begin!
