🤕⚽️ ANOTHER WEEK… ANOTHER BUFC INJURY! ⚽️🤕

This time we’re sending lots of get well wishes to Charlotte from our U11 Girls, who unfortunately broke her wrist while playing in only the team’s second ever league game. 💙

Anyone who knows Charlotte will know that being told to take a break from football is probably going to be harder for her than the broken wrist itself! 😂 The thought of missing training, football and, most importantly, being with her teammates and friends will be absolute torture.

We’ve got a feeling she’ll still somehow find her way to training next week and be involved in one way or another… even if we have to remind her that “rest” actually means REST!

Take it easy, Charlotte, and give that wrist time to heal properly. Your teammates, coaches and the whole BUFC family are wishing you a speedy recovery. 💙⚽️

We’ll have you back out there before you know it! 💪

⚽️💙 PITCHES READY FOR ANOTHER WEEKEND OF FOOTBALL! 💙⚽️

The lines are painted, the goals are ready and we’re all set for another weekend of football at BUFC! 🙌

But there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make sure our kids can simply turn up and play.

Our coaches don’t just give up a weeknight to run training and then manage their teams on match days. You’ll also find them down at the playing fields late at night, early in the morning and even during lunch breaks from their actual paid jobs, marking pitches, moving goals and getting everything ready for the weekend. ⚽️

All volunteers. All giving up their own time. All because they want our kids to have somewhere to play football, make friends and enjoy being part of their local club. 💙

So when you see those freshly marked pitches this weekend, spare a thought for the volunteers who somehow managed to squeeze it in between work, family life and everything else!

This is grassroots football.
This is community football.
This is BUFC. 💙⚽️
Now bring on another weekend of football! 🙌⚽️

🏆⚽️ JACK KALSON DIVISIONAL CUP ⚽️🏆

Good luck to all our BUFC teams taking part in the first round of the Jack Kalson Cup!

Go out there, enjoy your football, work hard for each other and, most importantly, HAVE FUN! 🙌⚽️

Whatever the results, represent BUFC with pride, show great sportsmanship and walk off that pitch with your heads held high! 💙

Good luck, teams! 👏

UP THE BURTON! 💙⚽️

WHAT KIDS NEED… 💙⚽️

A coach who tells them to keep going when things get tough.

A coach who backs them after a bad game, not just praises them after a good one.

A coach who notices the little improvements that others might miss.

A coach who gives them confidence when they’re struggling.

A coach who makes them feel valued, included and part of the team.

Because grassroots football isn’t just about creating better footballers. It’s about building confidence, friendships, resilience and a love of the game. 💙

At Burton United, development will always mean more than the scoreline. ⚽️

Sometimes all a kid needs is a coach who believes in them. 💙💛

⚽️💙 LOOK AT OUR NEWEST, LITTLEST & DEFINITELY CUTEST MEMBERS OF THE BUFC FAMILY! 💙⚽️

Our U6 sessions are officially back up and running and what a brilliant little bunch we have! 🥹⚽️

Coaches Mark and Liam, along with our junior coach Billy, are certainly being kept on their toes with this fun, lively and very enthusiastic group! 😂

For some of these little superstars, this is the very start of their football journey, and we absolutely love being able to give them a place to have fun, make friends, build confidence and fall in love with football. 💙

There’ll be plenty of goals, giggles, runaway footballs and probably a few coaches needing a lie down afterwards! 😂

Welcome to the BUFC family, U6s! We can’t wait to watch you grow. 💙⚽️

🎂⚽️ Birthday on a match day? Rookie mistake!

When your birthday falls on match day, there’s no quietly keeping it to yourself… your teammates WILL find out and there’s only one way they’re celebrating…
BIRTHDAY BUMPS! 🤣🙈🎉

No special treatment at BUFC, birthday or not, you’re getting launched by your mates!

Happy Birthday! 🥳💙⚽️ Hope you enjoyed your very gentle and caring birthday wishes from the U10 boys… 👀🤣

Just another day with the BUFC family! 💙

💙⚽️ GET WELL SOON, REX! ⚽️💙

Not quite the start to the new school year our U10s player Rex had planned! 🙈

Just one week back at school and Rex managed to split his head open… and, a bit like Humpty Dumpty, he had to be glued back together again! 🤕😂

Unfortunately, the doctors have told him he needs to stay away from football for a few weeks while everything heals. But that didn’t stop Rex turning up to yesterday’s away match to support his teammates from the players bench. 💙

He didn’t want to let his boys down and wanted to be there cheering them on from the sidelines, which says everything about the kind of teammate he is. 👏⚽️ Your boys will keep your spot warm while you recover!

Everyone at Burton United wishes you a speedy recovery, and we can’t wait to see you back out on the pitch where you belong! 💙⚽️

💙⚽ ANOTHER SPONSOR BACKING BUFC! ⚽💙

A huge thank you to our very own local builder Nigel Hornsby for his fantastic support of Burton United! 👏

Nigel has kindly sponsored our U8s, kitting the whole team out with their new dri-fit training tops for the season. 🔥⚽

As a grassroots club, support from local businesses and people within our community makes such a difference. It helps us give our players the best possible experience while keeping costs as affordable as we can for families.

We’re incredibly grateful to Nigel for choosing to back our club and our U8s. 💙

Thank you, Nigel, for supporting the next generation of BUFC players! 🙌⚽
