Since its formation in 1996 with three junior soccer teams, North Shields Juniors AFC has enjoyed continued success and rapid development, until in the current season of 2023/2024, we now have 61 teams in the age range of 7 to 18 years plus senior men’s and reserve team.

There are now over 700 playing members proudly wearing the North Shields Juniors Strip. From the inception of the Club with junior soccer, mini soccer was added in 2001, followed a few years later with the introduction of a soccer skills format on Saturday mornings, which regularly attracts up to 150 participants a week.
