HomeAbout us

With a membership of 200+ football players and 20 Coaches Ilminster Town Youth FC aims to offer children good fun, exercise and a chance to improve their playing ability, all within a safe and encouraging environment and free from the pressure that a win at all costs approach always brings. Whilst it’s true that success is part measured by winning matches this is by no means our primary goal. We strongly believe in the long-term development of children on and off the pitch not only as players but as young people as well.

Youth football has so much to offer. At our club we endeavour to create a positive atmosphere which we hope breeds confidence and self-esteem in our young players. This is the only way they can achieve their full potential and be the best that they can be. We do our best to keep the costs involved to a minimum, so that participation and inclusion is not down to financial circumstances.

Football is an extremely passionate game even at grass roots level and there are moments when we can all find it difficult to contain our emotions. However, at Ilminster Town Youth FC we strive to encourage each other as managers and parents to promote fair play, respect and teamwork and to show a good example to the children playing the game on the pitch.
