Key information

Teams in our League offer Football for All in the age Groups U7 to u12

Football Age Groups are the same as School Years So Years 2 to 7 Players are allow to play one year ‘up’ (minimum age to play U7 is when they reach their 6th Birthday )

It's a big step and it's important that you have all the information you need to make the best decision.

As a league we help our member clubs to understand what it takes to get youngsters involved - safely and in a protective and supportive environment. Many if not all of us have children of our own and we understand that playing football is exciting and a great way to make new friends and get fit - we want to help to make sure it's done in a safely competitive environment.

Some things to think about

  • Friendly, approachable people

  • Convenient locations and match times

  • Right age groups for your child

  • Speak to other parents involved

  • Go to some games alone

‘Respect’ is the collective RESPONSIBILITY of everyone INVOLVED in the game

Code of Conduct

The following will be common sense to most adults;

  • We expect everyone to applaud good play no matter if its their own team or the opposition.

  • Bad language and raised voices towards the children or other supporters is not tolerated and can lead to expulsion of the individual.

  • Players should shake hands after the match.

  • The referee must be supported at all times.

  • Players must be encouraged by all adults to accept winning and losing in equal proportion.

  • High standards of behaviour are expected at all time.
