CLUB INFORMATION...

This page about Dorchester Town Youth Football Club (DTYFC) is intended to tell you about what we do, who we are, and what we stand for. We started out as Cosmos Boys Football Club in 1984 which grew in size to become the largest boys’ football club in Dorchester. We then became Dorchester Cosmos FC and in 2001 we amalgamated with Dorchester Town Football Club and became DTYFC. In 2003 we amalgamated with Dorchester Ladies. We now provide football training and competitive football matches for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 18, with an emphasis, particularly in the early years, on participation and enjoyment. We rely almost entirely on the parents of our players who give generously of their time and effort in coaching, managing teams, refereeing, fund raising activities and carrying out the organisational activities which are performed by the working committee. DTYFC is made up professional coachers, referees and sponsors. Some of whom have made it there life.

The Club has a formal constitution and Codes of Conduct for players, coaches, parents/spectators and team officials, in line with good practice recommended by the Football Association. All of our managers and coaches are required to receive training from the Dorset County Football Association in the various aspects of youth football coaching, which includes child protection. We have applied for FA Charter Standard status and expect this to be awarded to us this season.

The Club welcomes players of all abilities and this season sees the introduction of our new Football Development Center, which is aimed at providing additional high standard coaching and support for those who are keen to further improve their technique and skills in the sport.
