Houghton Regis Youth Football Club

Houghton Regis Youth FC is an FA affiliated club that was formed in the school holidays before the 1999/2000 season.

The club was formed by three parents who originally just wanted to give their children something to do on a Saturday morning by organising “kick about” sessions on the Green in Houghton. The number of participants grew until the club was officially set up to put two seven-a-side teams into the Vauxhall Mini League. It then became the dream of the committee to grow slowly, to the stage were we have every age from U8 to U18.

During the first season all home games were played on the village green in Houghton. With the club growing home games have been split between the Moore Crescent location and the playing fields adjacent to the Dog & Duck on Park Side, until we are now able to call Moore Crescent our “home pitch”

Houghton Regis Youth FC are a financially independent, non-profit making, club. Monies are raised through subscriptions, sponsorship and fund raising activities. Our sponsors have included EDS, Park Side Action Group, Co-Op, and Houghton Town Council. The club uses all monies raised to cover such expenses as kit, equipment, ground fees and referees. All committee members, managers and coaches are volunteers.

The club has held a number of events since its establishment, such as Xmas parties, trips to the pictures, presentation nights, trips to Luton and England games. As well as this we have held a tournament at the end of most seasons, which has proved successful to the club financially, as well enabling us to bond with the local communities and other clubs in the area.

On the playing side we have encountered some success:
