A Clear Vision for Progress
The plan defines Yeovil Town Women FC’s vision to become the premier women’s football club in the South West, with a strong focus on community roots, player development, and operational sustainability.
By 2028, the club aims to:
- ✅ Achieve promotion to Tier 5 by end of 2025/26 and Tier 4 (National League) by 2027/28
- ✅ Establish a Youth Training Centre supporting over 120 girls across age groups
- ✅ Create a U19 Scholarship Programme linking education with elite football
- ✅ Increase annual revenue by 250% through diversified income streams
- ✅ Engage 500+ girls in Somerset through grassroots football initiatives
A Pathway from Grassroots to the First Team
Central to the plan is the development of a full football pathway:
- Senior Team: Performance-focused squad with professional coaching and analysis support
- Youth Academy: U10 to U18 teams trained by qualified academy coaches
- U19 Scholarship Programme: Launching in Year 2, combining football with further education
- Grassroots Partnerships: Working with 25+ local clubs and schools to identify and develop talent
The new Training Centre will act as the hub of youth development, offering structured coaching, match play, and progression opportunities for aspiring players across Somerset.
Commercial Growth & Community Impact
The plan also outlines a sustainable commercial model that includes:
- Tiered sponsorship packages (kit, match day, player)
- Strategic partnerships with local businesses
- Training Centre fees based on an accessible contribution model
- Grants from bodies such as the FA, Sport England, and local authorities
Brand development and community engagement will be critical to success. A new content strategy will highlight player journeys, while social media channels, school outreach, and annual tournaments at Huish Park will elevate the club’s profile across the region.
Strong Foundations, Long-Term Vision
The integration of Yeovil Town Women FC within the Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust ensures resource efficiency and governance, while maintaining a clear, independent identity for the women’s section. A dedicated organisational structure, including a Director of Football overseeing both senior and youth programmes, ensures strategic alignment from top to bottom.
