Yatton Junior Football Club, which is proud of its playing and sportsmanship record, was formed in 1969. During its infancy the Club was known as Yatton Athletic and fielded teams in the Cheddar Valley and Weston-super-mare Junior Football League.

Due to the number of boys in the village now wishing to play football, two Clubs were formed in 1986/87, Yatton Athletic and Yatton Rangers.

The Club fields teams from Under 7/8 to Under 16. 

The club takes its responsibilities to children under their care very seriously. Therefore, it has formulated a Child Protection Policy and has appointed a Child Protection Officer.
