Most clubs have a soccer school that can include children as young as four which is a fun environment for them to learn to play football. FA rules say that players must have reached their sixth birthday before they can play football in organised leagues such as the YEL.
Different clubs have different fees and fee structures. Always best to contact the club you are interested in joining and ask their Treasurer how the fees are calculated.
Simple answer is YES! There is a specific Girls League (NGLL) however we do have a number of girls-only teams playing in the YEL. It is also very common for girls to play in mixed teams. FA rules state they can continue to do this up to the age of 18.
