UNDER 12s


Welcome to the under 12s section of the YEL website. From here you will be able to view the U12s football teams. There will also be useful information and key dates to keep track of.

IT’S LEAGUE FOOTBALL TIME

Split Seasons and cup competitions – Teams join ability based divisions for Winter and Spring seasons with promotion and relegation. Points are played for and the emphasis is on good, healthy competition. Please remember this is still children’s football; Players, managers and parents should respect each other and the match officials – Sportsmanship above all!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Ask you manager to request a list of acceptable footwear from the opposition manager. You may be surprised to find that certain types of football boots used on grass are perfectly acceptable.

Children’s football is very different to the Premier League/EFL. It is not always two up, two down. At the end of the season, the divisions will be looked at by the YEL Fixtures Team and a decision will be made based on the results during the season, teams who have withdrawn, new teams that have joined and the size of the divisions for the following season. Sometimes three teams are promoted and three are related. It is all about ensuring that teams get competitive games of football against teams of similar ability.

Size 4.

Under 12 games are 30 minutes each half.
