The league currently operates 3 age groups - Under 11’s, Under 13’s and Under 16’s. Each age group is ability banded and operates a maximum four year age banding. The league is open to boys and girls and The FA has granted dispensation to allow girls to play in the U11, U13 and U16 divisions of the league in mixed teams. To encourage more girls to play, this season there will be a development pitch for girls where they can turn up and practice drills, skills and play small sided games.
