Who We Are
Football for All. Community at Heart.
Isleworthians Youth FC is an FA Chartered Standard community football club based in Isleworth, Middlesex (TW7). We exist to provide a safe, inclusive environment where players of all abilities can learn, develop and enjoy football as part of a team. Every child is valued, listened to and supported.
There is no friendlier nor busier place in a local community than a grassroots football club. Whether it's weekly training sessions, match days, or special club events, our club is first and foremost a place for the players. A place to come together with friends, family and the wider community.
We adhere to the FA Respect Code in everything we do, and we expect all who play under our banner to follow this: parents, players, coaches, spectators and officials alike.
We are a not-for-profit club. Every penny from fees and fundraising goes towards the costs of keeping the club running, pitch hire, registration fees, nets and equipment. No shareholders. No profit margin. Just football.

Our Story
From Old Isleworthians to IYFC
We began under the umbrella of Old Isleworthians Football Club, becoming Old Isleworthians Youth Football Club before establishing ourselves as Isleworthians Youth FC in our own right in 2021.
We run mixed teams from U7s to U18s, with 15+ teams across all age groups, all competing in the Surrey Youth League on Sunday mornings.
The majority of our coaching staff are parents who volunteer to run their child's team, and we arrange FA Level 1 training, First Aid training and full background checks for them. We also have dedicated coaches who started as players here and now give their time back to the club. Whoever leads them to us, we are grateful for every one of them.
Our home is Goals Gillette Corner on MacFarlane Lane, Isleworth. All grass pitches, free parking on site, and a bar with drinks and refreshments on matchdays.
Percy the Lion
Fortitudo contra: Courage Against OppositionOur badge features Percy the lion, the magnificent big cat that sits atop Syon House in Isleworth. Lions are symbols of courage and power, values that sit at the heart of everything this club stands for.
Our Coaches
Qualified. Vetted. Committed.
Every manager and coach at Isleworthians meets the same baseline standard, not because we have to, but because our players and their families deserve nothing less.
All coaching staff hold a minimum of FA Level 1 certification, are DBS checked via an Enhanced FA DBS Disclosure, and carry a current First Aid qualification. The FA requires anyone who regularly works with children in football to hold an Enhanced DBS, which is managed by our Club Welfare Officer.
Coaches working with Under 11s and below also hold the FA Youth Award Module 1, ensuring their sessions are properly age-appropriate. Our most senior coaches hold qualifications up to UEFA B level.
Coaching staff operate an open door policy and parents and carers are always welcome to raise concerns, and anything unresolved at coach level is escalated to the Club Committee.

Safeguarding & Inclusion
Safe for Every Child
We are an inclusive club with a zero tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination or bullying, whether based on gender, culture, language, racial origin, religious beliefs or sexual orientation.
We encourage and teach fair play across all age groups. Players learn to value each other, compete with respect, and grow as both footballers and people. The FA Respect Code underpins everything we do on and off the pitch.
Parents and carers are recognised as a vital part of the club. You are encouraged to play a key role in supporting your child's team and helping bring our ethos to life. Coaches operate an open door policy throughout the season.
