YEL Update – 16th May 2025
This Update has FOUR important messages this week which we would ask you to please read.

CLUB OFFICIALS – Updating your teams for the 2025-26 season – Reregistering and removal
TREASURERS – Outstanding invoices settled by 31st May
SECRETARIES – Team names for 2025-26 season – names and length
Mental health awareness week

Updating your teams for the 2025-26 season – Reregistering and removal
Club Secretaries – ONLY 2 WEEKS REMAINING TO COMPLETE THIS – PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE

The process in the YEL is very simple and set out below.

All teams names/age groups are current 2024/25 season age groups. These automatically age by one year at midnight May 31st/June 1st in readiness for the new 2025/26 season eg YEL Utd U12 Blue will become YEL Utd U13 Blue.

All team headers have been changed to blue. These will indicate the teams where no action has been taken yet by the club. Once you have decided on whether a team is continuing or not, follow these instructions. If the team is continuing – you click ‘confirm.’ If a team is not continuing – you click ‘remove.’ Once you click ‘save’ the header in the main ‘Teams’ page will change to green for the ‘confirmed and continuing’ and red for those ‘not continuing’. Only teams that are ‘confirmed’ will roll through/age at midnight on May 31st. All others will be removed from the league and any teams wishing to continue after the roll through will need to reapply. No invoices will be raised until June 1st when we know which teams are continuing. Current U14 will need to be ticked as ‘remove’ as they will had come to the end of their YEL experience.

ONLY available to Club Secs/club officials with appropriate permissions to make changes on Scoreline.
  1. Login to YEL Scoreline at https://portal.yelscoreline.com
  2. Click on “My Clubs” from the left hand main menu
3. This will open your club card (example used is Bingham Town FC). Click on the blue button ‘club’ which will then open your club dashboard
4. Scroll down to the “Confirm club teams” section and click whether your team is continuing or removing (not continuing) – in the example below Bingham Black U13 are continuing next season; Bingham Blue U10 are not continuing
Once you have done this, click ‘save.’ If you are not sure about a particular team, you can leave it and come back to it at a later time provided it is done by midnight 31st May.

When all of your teams are either ‘confirm’ or ‘remove’ click the button at the top of the page to confirm that your club has completed the process. Do not do this please until ALL are confirmed/removed.

Any issues, email YEL OFFICE – office@yelonline.com

Outstanding invoices settled by 31st May
CLUB TREASURERS:  As per YEL Rules/regulations, all outstanding 2024-25 season invoices must be cleared by 31st May in order for teams to be readmitted into the league for the new season.

Thanks to all clubs who have responded to the emails. There are now only a handful with outstanding payments. For those who have received an email from Serena and have not yet had chance to make the payment, can you please bring things up to date in the next few days.

Please ensure all payments have the invoice number/s as the reference. If there are multiple invoices, can you please drop us an email detailing the invoices paid – finance@yelonline.com

Team names for 2025-26 season – names and length
If you enter two or more teams at the same age group playing on the same day, it is essential that both teams are clearly distinguished with a name/colour after them. We cannot accept just a club name for one team and a colour/name for another.

Eg YEL FC U12 & YEL FC U12 Red – no longer acceptable.

Examples of what are acceptable YEL U12 Blue & YEL U12 Red or YEL U12 Warriors & YEL U12 Trojans

Please also ensure that team names are not too long. This causes issues when displaying them on Full-Time

Mental health awareness week
This week is National Mental Health Awareness Week with the theme of ‘Community’.

The YEL is in full swing of its 60 Cup Final matches – the highlight at the end of the season is to win a Cup Final!

Unfortunately, not every team can win and supporting players with positive strategies to help deal with disappointment is crucial to building resilience in young players.

The Child Protection in Sport Unit resources will help you learn about the impact mental health can have on young people and how you can support them within your club or organisation.
