Minehead Football Club was originally founded in 1889 and spent their early years in local competitions

Turning semi-professional in 1949/50 Minehead joined the Western League, in which they played for 23 seasons. In spite of being one of the most consistent teams in the league, Minehead never actually won the Western League Championship, although they finished as runners-up twice (in 66/67 and 71/72).

The football club operates a policy of using local, unpaid players, with the main objective being to play at the highest level of football sustainable both on and off the pitch. Having returned to the Western League two decades ago, the club have experienced contrasting fortunes, but through the dedication and commitment of a handful of committee members, has pulled through a turbulent recent history and now look to instigate sound plans for the future.

With over 250 boys and girls registered to play in two local Taunton youth leagues both sponsored by Tony Pryce Sports. The aim of the youth system is to encourage the young people of Minehead, to participate in in the sport of football, to learn the rules and enjoy the game, whilst also learning to be fair but competitive in a sporting manner. The youth teams are managed by individuals, who on a voluntary basis give hours of their time to educate the children to play good, honest and enjoyable footbal

At the end of each season, Minehead Youth hosts the Easter & Spring football festivals, where teams come from all areas of the UK to compete over a 3 day period, this gives the children of Minehead the chance to play against some of the best Junior league teams in the UK. The event is well organised and enjoyed by everybody involved.

The newly formed Under 7 training sessions are primarily for anybody from 5-7 years old who would like to come and have a game of football and are run on every second Sunday. Although there are no actual league games for this age group as yet friendly games are to be arranged in the near future.
