Coaches will be enforcing so please ensure players are equipped with standard size shin pads as of this date to continue on the pitch and enjoying the game.
Thank you ⚽️
We are so grateful for the support! Thank you to the organisers and sponsors ⚽️ 💙
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our amazing community, we’re excited to be looking ahead to the 26/27 season ⚽️💙
ATYFC is always on the lookout for inspirational volunteer coaches who are passionate about helping young players develop and giving back to the local community.
We will fully fund required coaching qualifications, and your child’s place at the club will be free of charge once the FA Introduction to Coaching Football qualification is completed.
Player spaces are currently very limited, so if you’re passionate about creating opportunities for children and making a positive impact, please DM us.
All applicants will be subject to an interview process, DBS checks, and must strictly adhere to our safeguarding policy. The welfare of our players is always our top priority.

A huge shout out to The Commercial Centre in Picket Piece.
Simon Potter has been supporting ATYFC for many, many years, and his generosity has once again gone above and beyond.
The Commercial Centre was one of the companies ATYFC had an outstanding debt with. Not only has Simon kindly written off this debt but he has also made a £500 donation to help us get back on our feet.
Thank you, Simon. We truly appreciate your support—not just during our time of need, but for the many years you have stood by us.
Thank you to Ra Football Club and UC Charity for coming together to support our club with the match today. Thank you to the players, coaches and spectators that came down to support ⚽️ 💙
Continued support to Andover Town Youth FC 💙 we will give back to our community, thank you for supporting us!
Parents and carers of our players,
We’d love your help celebrating this amazing achievement! If you have any photos, videos, or quotes from our players about how they feel now that the club has reached its fundraising target, please share them below.
Thank you for being such a huge part of our club community ⚽️💙
Thank you Love Andover and Perfect Bore! ⚽️ 💙
The unbelievable has happened, we have exceeded our £30,000 target, thanks to an exceptionally generous donation of £10,000 from Perfect Bore Manufacturing.
Words cannot express our gratitude. Just 8 days ago, we never would have believed that even £10,000 to see us through the current season was possible. At that point, we had 95p. We have now fundraised the £30,000 that had been taken from our accounts, this money provides the club with future stability and a guarantee to start the next season.
We are truly overwhelmed, incredibly grateful, and thankful for every single penny donated. This support means more than we can put into words.
A special thank you to Perfect Bore Manufacturing:
