Youth Football Leagues in Hertfordshire
Kid’s football has changed in recent years. New formats have been introduced to increase touches of the ball, improve confidence and assist in all stages of a young player’s development.
Small sided formats such as 5v5 and 7v7 are the foundation of mini-soccer within our youth leagues, with all youth leagues now offering a 9v9 format before moving to 11v11.
There are some fantastic youth football leagues across Hertfordshire for boys and mixed teams. You can visit the leagues website for more information using the quick links on this page or click below to search for a club near you.
Why do we make our kids play like adults?
Let’s provide a safe and fun environment for young people to develop in football.
Hertfordshire FA encourage a modern, child-friendly approach to youth football, challenging the win-at-all-costs mentality that is stifling development and enjoyment for young people.
Working together with a proactive attitude, adults can help develop a better learning environment for young people that put their development needs at the centre of the process.
