Looking back at the 2008-2009 Season

Alexandra Park Youth Football Club (APYFC) has been established in its current form for 4 seasons and is about to go into its 5th, but was in existence for a number of years prior under the stewardship of Phil Cain (now our Football Development Officer) and originally developed from The Alexandra Palace Soccer School into the Alexandra Palace Football Club some 13 years or so ago.

APYFC is part of the Alexandra Park Club ( est. 1898) which also includes the Alexandra Park Football and Cricket Clubs based at the Racecourse Ground Alexandra Palace and has full access to and use of pitches and facilities at the Alexandra Park Club (which includes the Club House for Social events ). Whilst remaining financially independent, APYFC aims to further develop this relationship to be able to offer improved coaching , match and social facilities at the Alexandra Park Club to the mutual benefit of APYFC , APFC and APCC.

The club evolved from the Saturday morning soccer school to satisfy the desire of youngsters from the Muswell Hill and Crouch End areas to play competitive football. To that end the club plays in the Watford Friendly League where we are one of the biggest clubs.

2008-2009 season was very successful for the club with 22 teams competing at U8-U18 age groups with the following highlights:
