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.

“Hey, you dress up our town very nicely. You don’t look out the Chamber of Commerce is going to list you in their publicity with the local attractions.”

“Sprung from the West,
He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.”
—Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
