Ivybridge Town Youth F.C.
Ivybridge Town operates a Youth setup consisting of teams in all competitive age-groups of the Devon Junior & Minor League from U9s through to U18s. The club also run a number schemes and coaching schools for potential players from the age of 6, labelled the Mini-Ivies.
The ambition is to ensure that the first and second teams have a consistent flow of players making themselves available from the club's youth structure. The club considers just one or two players each season breaking into the first team to be a success, while supplementing the reserve side in the process.
The Youth teams are based at Erme Valley, but the club also makes use of additional facilities at Ermington and Sparkwell, while training throughout the winter months on a 3G all-weather surface at Ivybridge Community College.

Famous quotes containing the words town and/or youth:
“If the street life, not the Whitechapel street life, but that of the common but so-called respectable part of town is in any city more gloomy, more ugly, more grimy, more cruel than in London, I certainly don’t care to see it. Sometimes it occurs to one that possibly all the failures of this generation, the world over, have been suddenly swept into London, for the streets are a restless, breathing, malodorous pageant of the seedy of all nations.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“The youth of America is their oldest tradition. It has been going on now for three hundred years.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
