Baffins Milton Rovers Youth FC

Welcome to the website of Baffins Milton Rovers Youth FC.

Baffins Milton Rovers Youth FC is a grassroots football club based in the City of Portsmouth.

Built on the foundations of the successful 1st Team currently playing in the Wessex Premier Division, the youth section of the club came to be in 2017, starting with a handful of teams. The club has now grown to provide teams at the majority of age groups opportunities to play football.

In the summer of 2023, we had the pleasure of starting a girls section, with the introduction of our very 1st girls team, this has quickly grown to 3 teams at different age groups U10-U12 with the potential of further growth.

Current age range - U6/U8/U9/U10/U11/U12/U13/U14/U15/U16/U18

Our teams play in the Mid Solent Youth Football League, Portsmouth Youth Football League, Hampshire Girls Youth League & Hampshire Combination & Development League

To get involved with the club, whether playing, coaching opportunities or any other volunteering opportunities, please contact the club secretary, Dan Acton - secretary@bmryfc.co.uk
