LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
AT BEVERLEY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB
Following a tough year for everyone, Beverley
Town Football Club is looking forward to an
exciting future of development and success.
Already looking ahead, Beverley Town Football
Club’s Junior Academy currently has 30 children
who are looking to form the next new Junior
Teams. The club currently has 17 junior teams
playing within Beverley.
The Club can offer football coaching from Under
8's all the way through to the open age group, the
merger of Beverley Whitestar and Beverley Town
a few years ago demonstrates the vision of the

ensures the expanding Town has a local club to
support the growth in population locally, health
and wellbeing is at the heart of every decision.
The Academy is being managed and run by the
previous first team manager Rich Jagger. Rich
is keen to ensure that the Club develops and
nurtures the youngest to get the most out of the
game and encourage friendship and team spirit,
playing the games as it should be played, provides
a natural feed upwards through the club to older
teams, with the right standards set in place.
Beverley Town is an all inclusive Club and have
developed a strong ladies section under the
guidance of Arthur Jessop. The ladies team also
has links with the local business community being
sponsored by The Tiger Inn.
Beverley Town Ladies FC were formed in 2018 to
give girls an opportunity to improve fitness, have a
social get-together and enjoy the sport they love.
The club continues to support the development of
grassroots football within the ladies game.
Other positive developments for the club include
success in the club’s disability team, which has
been running for many years, and the men’s first
team, which is hoping to go to Northern counties
to compete. Mike Thompson joined the club as
