Happy 5th Birthday

Heyford Park Football Club is 5 years old - Here is our story so far...

Founded in July 2019 by a group of people with one common goal: to put youth football at the heart of everything we do.

We had 4 weeks to...

  • Appoint Club Officers

  • Register teams and players

  • Get a club logo, color scheme, kits, website, and playing equipment

  • Find pitches to play on


Club Badges


We started with 6 teams - Boys, U8, U9, U10, U11, U12 and Girls U11

(Not many people know this, one of the founders is a fan of the NFL team Seattle Seahawks, who play in Lime Green and Blue. We couldn't get Lime and Blue, so we settled for Lime and Black.)


Club Founders.

Eddie Duggan, Chris Masters, Stuart Simpson, Jo McMahon, Sarah Smith, Euan Cameron, Pete Clark, Craig Bishop and Oli Stellard

The Middle

We grow, a lot…

  • We launched Rising Stars, free football for 4-7-year-olds.

  • We started Wildcats free football for girls aged 7-11 years old.

  • We got accredited by the English Football Association.

  • We raised £2,500 for the Oxford Hospital Charity in partnership with Heyford Park Running Club.

  • We donated sports equipment to Heyford Park School.

  • We launched a training range.

  • We added more teams.

  • We got a 2nd star from the Football Association.

  • We signed a 10-year lease partnership with Fritwell Field.

  • We re-branded with a new fighter jet logo in recognition of the history of Heyford.

  • We got a nickname, “The Sky Kings”. The name was used by the US Air Force for their sports teams when they were based in Heyford.

  • We invested in floodlights at both Fritwell and Heyford.

  • We started hosting summer 6-a-side tournaments to raise funds for the club.

  • We partnered with Nike.

Today 

Heyford Park Football Club has 20 boys' and girls' teams and over 250 children.

We have a small army of amazing volunteers who make everything possible; this includes both coaches and committee members.
