Welcome to Great Doddington Youth Football Club
Celebrating 22 Years of Youth Football.
In March 2003, Great Doddington Youth Football Club was formed. In September 2003, one Under 8 team and one Under 9 team were entered into the Weetabix League for the 2003/04 Season. 20 years on, hundreds of boys and girls have played football for the club. It wouldn't have been possible without all the volunteers that have given their time over the years. The final word must go to the founders of the club who had a vision 20 years ago, that is still being realised today. So thank you to Kevin, Chris, Barry and Josh.
