Welcome to the home of Doddinghurst Olympic Football Club. The Essex village of Doddinghurst is situated about four miles north of Brentwood and football has been alive and kicking in the village for many years. Early records dating back to 1947 show the existence of two rival village teams, the first playing on land known as 'Parkwood', the second playing opposite the village Post Office. By 1952 a youth team had been formed and this played in the Romford League, under the title 'Doddinghurst Rovers'. By 1962 the team had moved to the Pope and Smith League, playing under the name of 'Doddinghurst Youth', on a pitch at the rear of the Village Hall. In 1978 Doddinghurst Olympic Football Club was born, initially as a senior side, but by 1983 included a further nine youth teams.

Today, Doddinghurst Olympic Football Club consists of two senior sides, ten youth teams and a flourishing soccer school. All of our teams are affiliated to the Essex County Football Association and we remain at our home ground - The Village Hall Playing Fields. In total, we provide facilities and the opportunity, for children between the ages of four and fourteen to play in our club colours of green and yellow. This season, we have added a further senior side in addition to our successful Sunday team. This team will play on Saturday afternoons and have entered the Essex Business Houses League.
