When is the football season?
We train from August until June every year, with a three-week winter break and a one-week Summer Camp. Training for the 2010/11 season begins on Tuesday 24th August. Check the calendar for up-to-date info.

Does my son or daughter need any previous experience to join Buda Juniors?
No, we train children of any ability between the ages of 4 and 19. We split members into 6 groups, so that they train with children of a similar level in terms of football skills. Read more about our groups.

How can my child join Buda Juniors?
First contact us, then arrange for your child to come for a free trial session. Click here to find out more. Please do not turn up without contacting us first, as sometimes we change the training time or venue.

Where are the Buda Juniors training sessions held?
At Csilleberc, which is a large sports complex in the forests of the Buda hills in the 12th district. Click here for directions.

Why do Buda Juniors sometimes train indoors even when the weather is good?
We play outdoors as much as possible, but sometimes Csilleberc books the pitch out to other groups and we are unable to hire another outdoor football pitch. We now have floodlights to enable us to play outdoors in the evenings.

At what times are the regular training sessions?
We train on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during the season. The groups train at different times to make sure that each gets the right amount of space and coach attention. Check the table here for all the details.

How much does it cost?
The groups run for different lengths of time, so are priced differently. You can save up to 10% by paying in advance. Please talk to our administrator Kriszta to find out how much you would pay.

When and how do I pay?
We require all parents to pay at the beginning of the month. Right now, we can only accept cash, but we are looking into other payment methods. Kriszta will be happy to help you at one of the training sessions.

Are the Buda Juniors coaches qualified?
Our coaches are chosen not only for their football experience, but also their ability to work with children. The head coach, Janos Banfi, is qualified with the UEFA B coaching licence and is a former captain of the Hungarian national football team.

When was Buda Juniors founded?
In September 2001, so we are now very well established. For a brief history, click here.

Do you play matches?
Yes, we do. We play friendly matches against Hungarian youth teams and we participate in tournaments. Most groups (and hence most members) are involved in these matches. You can read about this season's fixtures and the reports of previous matches here.

What happens when a child is injured?
We have a medical kit available at every training session and some of our coaches are qualified in first aid. If the injury is more serious, we call on our sponsor FirstMed Centers for assistance. To read more about our three-step injury system, click here.
