YEOVIL Town Ladies are this season operating in the South West Combination Women's Football League, having been relegated from the FA Tesco Women's Premier League last season. The vast majority of the squad has been retained from the previous campaign, and with some additions and a flood of youngsters coming through the ranks, the girls are looking to gain an immediate promotion back to the Premier league.
Joint managers Nigel Williams and Sarah Lawler took over the running of the first team towards the end of last season, and together with assistant manager Chris White, they lead a dedicated backroom staff who are focussed on developing a first class squad not only in an attempt to gain promotion this season, but to progress at Premier League level there after.
Emma Brazell is the club captain and Rachel Edwards leads the team on the field of play. Both players work hard with the management to gain maximum success on the field of play. Both make a massive contribution to the development of the club, both as captains and committee members.
Yeovil Town Ladies have a strong club committee, who work tirelessly to run the club on a day to day basis, as well as developing it towards a

| YEOVIL Town Ladies operate a First and Reserve team, as well as four youth teams, playing at Under-11, Under-12, Under-14 and at Under-16 levels this 2011/12 season.
The Reserve team is managed by Andy Dickinson, with his assistant manager Mike Board. Last season they enjoyed an impressive first campaign in the FA Premier League, Southern Division Two, and continue to operate at this level this season.
Playing alongside a number of experienced players, the Reserves are a hotbed for some very promising youngsters, all of who are being developed towards First team football. Continuing to play in a higher league this season should help with their long-term development, and with it, the club’s future looks to be in safe hands.
The club have a strong and well-established youth system, with all the teams playing in the Somerset FA Girls League. The Under-Eleven squad is managed by Mike Board and coached by the up and coming Chelsea Board, and should do well this season having shown much promise in their development league last term.
The Under-Twelve’s are managed by Mark Howard, and are in their third season together, having won the Under-Eleven league last season.
Last season’s Under-Thirteen squad have now progressed to eleven a side football at Under-fourteen level, and having finished champions of their league last season, they are looking to continue their fine progress this term under the coaching of the experienced Clive Watts.
The Under-Sixteen squad is managed by the highly qualified Stacey Pearson, and contain
