Are you the owner of Painswick Youth FC?
Debbie would like to welcome everyone to Painswick Youth FC, a football club in Stroud offering a warm and social way to play football. Founded in 2008 by father and son, Tom and Howard Davis, with an under-12s team, the club now boasts three adult teams competing in the Stroud District League.
Painswick Youth FC values both the competitive and social aspects of being part of a football club. Debbie emphasises the importance of family and camaraderie, encouraging visits to the local pub after games and organising weekends away to strengthen team bonds.
In 2020, the club showcased its talents in a local production, performing until dusk for the cameras. This experience reflected their dedication to both football and the local community. The film of this performance is available on the club’s website.
Currently, there are three active teams competing in the Stroud District League's 2nd, 5th, and 6th divisions. The reserve team is relatively new, and a third team was introduced due to the growing number of players. Notably, two players, Tom Davis and Jordan Hutchinson, have been with the club since the beginning and are nearing their 10th year in the adult teams.
The club, although based in Painswick, uses multiple pitches in both Painswick Village and Gloucester. This allows them to extend their reach and offer opportunities for players from across the region.
Debbie mentions that Painswick Youth FC is always seeking new sponsors to support the club. Those interested can reach out via the website. The club shop also offers various merchandise for supporters and players.
With a large squad and three teams, Painswick Youth FC prioritises looking after each other and improving football skills. Close-knit groups of friends within the club enhance on-pitch chemistry and create a fantastic atmosphere during matches. Social aspects are also key, with post-match trips to the local pub and various events, tours, and social weekends, including camping trips.
If you're looking to join a friendly and motivated football club in Stroud, Debbie invites you to consider Painswick Youth FC. Get in touch, and they’ll be happy to get you involved. Training can start in the same week! Welcome to the Painswick Youth FC family.
