Thamesview Youth Football Club was first established back in 1970 when the club had only two teams entered in the (as it was back then) Medway City Boys League. In those days the home pitch was at Thamesview County Primary School, Gillingham and the club took its name from this school. Since those early days the club has seen many changes, but perhaps the biggest change, and a tribute to it's success, has been the considerable growth in the number of teams. All ages have been represented in the league, from under sevens to under eighteen level. Some age groups have two teams and through our successful Soccer School, younger children have the opportunity to learn the game by training with our FA qualified coaches. This has only been possible because of the strong parental support that the club has enjoyed over the years. Support which has laid the foundation stone, creating the platform for the club to prosper. This website is a reflection of how far the club has come and it's persual of youth football in to the future. In November 2010, Thamesview Youth FC celebrated it's 40th anniversary - click here for more details on the event.

The club is self financing and is run by a committee with an established constitution. This committee is democratically elected each year at the Club's Annual General Meeting and is made up of managers and representatives from each team, mainly parents and long standing, dedicated members with a long established association with the club. Day to day management is in the capable hands of the elected officers of the club and regular monthly meetings are held to discuss routine and non-routine matters throughout the year. Any parent can attend the A.G.M. or express a view in writing or via a committee member at any committee meeting.

The club belongs to the Medway Messenger Youth League (MMYL), which is itself affiliated to the Kent Football Association and this body in turn abides by rules and codes laid down by the Football Association.
In April 2008 the Club was recognised as a Football Association Charter Standard Club and is working towards Development Club status - TYFC FA Charter Standard Statement.
