The Kent Junior Disability League is a small sided, pan disability league which caters for youth players aged 8 – 16 years old. 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 gender teams. We currently have two girl’s teams playing in the Under 16 League division.
Format of the League
Under 11’s – 5 aside with a 4 year age banding
Under 13’s – 5 aside with a 2 year age banding
Under 16’s League – 5 aside with a 3 year age banding
Under 16’s Championship – 7 aside with a 3 year age banding
Last season the league moved to a new central venue in Strood called Kicks Soccer Centre which boasts some of the best 3G playing facilities in the county. The league is now in its fourth season and is going from strength to strength.
