Sign in to FA Full-Time & YEL Scoreline
URGENT – SEVEN DAYS TO GO – Thank you to those who have done it! If you haven’t yet, it is a league rule and will affect your participation in the league.
We use TWO systems to communicate with teams – FA Full-Time for match details AND YEL Scoreline for any other information which requires sending out. Sadly, The FA systems will not allow us to share data therefore…
ALL managers and team contacts MUST log into FA Full-Time prior to the start of the season to ensure your email address is correct.
ALL managers and team contacts MUST log into YEL Scoreline which will verify your email address.
Logging into both systems is a League requirement which must be done in order for teams to play in the YEL. Matches are likely to be postponed until it has been completed.
FULL-TIME – https://fulltime-admin.thefa.com/b2c/signInLanding.html By now you should have had an automated verification email from The FA to allow you to log in – check junk & spam. If you haven’t please email yel@live.co.uk and the YEL Office will arrange a new one to be sent.
SCORELINE – https://portal.yelscoreline.com/user/login?destination=/dashboard When you were registered by your club as your team contact listed on Scoreline you should have received an email with a password created. If you haven’t or can’t access Scoreline, please email yel@live.co.uk and the YEL Office will arrange a new one to be sent.
Maximum squad size – Do not exceed
YEL Rules state the following maximum squad sizes for each format. Please do not exceed this, otherwise players will have to be deregistered on a last ones first basis until the squad falls within the limits.
5v5 10 players (see note below)
7v7 14 players
9v9 18 players
11v11 22 players
NB more can be registered for U7/U8 teams provided the number of players divided by the number of teams registered to the club in the age group works out at ten or less eg If two teams in U7 age group – same 19 players registered for both of two teams is ok. 22 players registered for both of two teams is not.
FINES – Match returns, Reporting scores via SMS text, ID checks, Ineligible players
WE DO NOT WANT TO FINE TEAMS/CLUBS! The league now has 1300 teams, so it is essential that everyone complies with the league rules and regulations. Please ensure you familiarise yourselves with these – YELonline.com
The most common fines (all easily avoided!) are:
- Not completing match returns on Full-Time
- Not reporting the score via SMS text
- Not doing Player ID checks before the game
- Playing ineligible players
We do not make the rules, we only apply them on behalf of the member clubs as voted in at the AGM.

Download the guide to team admin from YELonline.com to make sure you fully understand what admin you need to do on a weekly basis as a manager/coach in the YEL – YELonline.com – useful information for managers/coaches section
ALL Amendments to KO times, venues etc now through YEL Office
Teams can no longer change KO times, venues etc on Full-Time. ALL amendments must be emailed to the YEL Office for actioning – yel@live.co.uk
Contacting the YEL
