The concept of a Taylors Lakes Football Club came to fruition during 1989 with discussions taking place between members of the Taylors Lakes Recreation Club and other local identities.

In 1990 the club fielded an Under 10 and Under 12 team in what was then the OPJSFL, soon to amalgamate with the EDFL. The teams, with great assistance from our first major sponsors, John and Sandra Zystra, (who contributed much to many of the teams to follow), played their first games at Pascoe Vale in front of many a watchful eye. During that same year a submission was made to the Essendon District Football League to allow us to field Under 14s in season 1991.

The league was at first apprehensive. A policy existed requiring clubs to field teams in every grade of the competition. The league finally decided to affiliate Taylors Lakes under a new “Growth Policy”, requiring us to enter higher grade teams every second year in age group order. However, the club grew exponentially and by 1993 was fielding teams in every age group including the Seniors B Division. Since that time the club has continued to grow and until 2004 fielded second teams in each age group from Under 10s to Under 14s. 2005 saw the entry of a second Under 16 team.

In 2010, the club celebrated its 20th Anniversary year in spectacular style with both Senior teams playing Pascoe Vale in the Grand Final in front of packed grand stands at Windy Hill. The Reserves went down in their first loss for the season and the Seniors WON the EDFL B Grade Premiership over much fancied Pascoe Vale with a very healthy final margin. It was an excellent result from a team made up of high percentage of home grown Taylors Lakes players, many of whom have played all or most of their Junior football with the Club since Under 10′s.

In 2015, we celebrated our 25 year anniversary in style with our champion Reserve team winning back to back Premierships for the first time in club history. Our Under 12 team also won the Premiership making it a fantastic anniversary for the club with many more victories to come.
