DYFL History

Dunoon Youth Football League is a voluntary organisation established in 1981 to provide all young people from the Cowal peninsula with the opportunity to participate in structured football and coaching.

A group of concerned parents decided that if the majority of young people in the area were to get the opportunity to play football - then the local community would have to provide it and from this vision emerged Dunoon Youth Football League (D.Y.F.L).

The main objective of DYFL is to give young people between 3-17 years of age the chance to enjoy football and improve their skills regardless of what standard they play at. We currently have a membership of approximately 200 young people.

All outdoor players, both girls and boys, are organised into small-sided teams and play on Saturday mornings during the season. These games are normally played as seven a-side non-competitive matches. Approximately 200 young people aged 5 to 15 are involved on a Saturday morning. Coaching sessions (again open to all abilities) are available to the different age groups Monday-Friday evenings. Well over 100 young people (in total) attend these coaching sessions.

The club also enter seven a-side teams at under 10 & 11s in the Greenock and District League and eleven a-side teams at under 12, 13, 14,15 and 17 years in the Paisley & District Youth Football League and Glasgow & District Youth Football League. These games are played on Sundays with both home and away fixtures. Each team has a squad of approximately 20 players.

In January 2007 the DYFL employed a part time Football Development Coach, (Paddy McAlees,) to further develop the existing coaching facilities and administration of our club.

As a club we are continuously looking a ways to improve and recently we achieved the SFA Quality Mark, introduced football camps during school holidays, a mini kicker's programme for 3 to 5 year olds and offered girls football at under 14s. This season we have also started a girl's team at over 14s to develop girls and young women's football which has over 20 participants
