In 1998 John and Sharon Saunders formed a children's football team under the name of Pevensey & Westham Children's FC. The following year, Emma Larkin formed a separate children's team called Pevensey & Westham Eagles. These two teams joined together to create a Club under the name of Pevensey & Westham Junior Football Club, based at Pevensey Recreation Ground, Wallsend Road, Pevensey, East Sussex. Pevensey & Westham JFC has grown quite rapidly, becoming an increasingly popular Club, yet it manages to maintain a community feel within the Club, further boosting its popularity.

The Club hosts holiday courses at Pevensey Recreation Ground, run by SAFA (Southern Association Football Academy). Courses can be viewed on their website, www.planet-safa.com

In July 2006, the Club was presented with the award of Charter Standard Development Club by the Football Association. This is a huge achievement for what started out as a small village Club not so many years ago. (The Charter Standard Scheme is a best practice guide that sets standards of coaching, administration and child protection for Clubs working with young people and is a benchmark for quality). This award reflects a lot of time and effort put in by volunteers and the Club is committed to maintaining the standards set down by The Football Association.

The Club's aim has always been to provide quality coaching to children in a positive manner and we look forward to an even brighter future. Anyone wishing to join should telephone Sharon Saunders on (01323) 763026.
