League Standards
Rewarding youth leagues for excellence.
Our Youth League Standards programme rewards leagues that excel across the four framework pillars:
Game
Ensure age-appropriate flexible format structures.
Environment
Apply the best conditions for young players to enjoy football.
Education
Align all coaches, players and parents to foster a culture of continuous learning.
Governance
Follow clear and accountable rules and management practices.
Youth leagues must apply and demonstrate they meet the criteria. They will undergo an evaluation and will need to comply with any recommendations for improvement.
