We bring together ambitious footballing talent from across the country in a competitive, FA sanctioned youth football league. Matches are played weekly to compliment players' educational studies by offering a regular opportunity to put their training into practice.
The Youth Development League are proud to be celebrating a Decade of Development this 2024/25 season.
The League has grown rapidly over the past 10 years to now consist of nine divisions across the South, Midlands, and North-East, with over 70 teams competing each week.
Having worked in the football industry for several years, our Chairman, Steve Franks, wanted to create a league that would provide a unique opportunity for young people aged 16-19 years old to develop their passion for football whilst also receiving a full-time education.
Since our inaugural year, the league has grown rapidly and our plans don’t stop there, we are aiming for bigger and better things.
We offer a weekly games programme to offer squads the chance to compete, improve quality and develop passion for the game.
