Mini Leagues are weekly competitive matches designed specifically for children School Year: Yr2 – Yr8. Participants will be grouped according to their age profiles and will have the opportunity to experience what it is like to play on match days. Mini League is for players to gain more matchday playing minutes, regardless of your child is currently playing in a structured team or have the aspirations to be in one. This is a games programme to develop their skills in a safe, supportive and structured environment.

The main goal of the Mini Leagues is to give young players a genuine matchday experience as a player and build their confidence with playing minutes. It’s about developing their understanding of competitive games in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. Coaches will focus on enhancing the players’ skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship, all while ensuring they enjoy the challenges and demands of football.

The Mini Leagues matches are held once a week, during afterschool hours over a 7 month commitment (September – March). Each weekly game is carefully scheduled to ensure regular participation, playing a variety of positions and offers young players a lot of opportunities to develop their skills and relish in the excitement of a match-day environment.
