YEL Update – 7th November 2025

This Update has TWO important messages this week, which we would ask you to please read.

  • Reminder – This is remembrance weekend
  • Respect Update and this weekend

Reminder – This is Remembrance weekend


Reminder to everyone that this is remembrance weekend. We would encourage everyone who wishes to, to hold a minute’s applause/silence prior to their games over the weekend to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe and allow us the freedom to live our lives in the way we wish to. Please discuss with you opposition manager and any appointed referee how you wish to pay your respects. This is, as always, optional.

Respect update and this weekend

Having reviewed the Respect cases since the start of the season, we are excited to report that over 95% of the teams in the league are on green (starting point) on the YEL traffic light system. This is a marked improvement and is testament to the hard work the YEL Respect team put in and to the clubs, teams, coaches and supporters who are ensuring that children play football in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment. A massive ‘Thank You’ to you all.

This weekend sees the climax of many of our winter season divisions. There are a number of potential title deciders and we would ask that everyone continues to support the players and the referees in the right way.

We will be sending out our army of Respect Field Officers (RFOs) to as many of these important games as possible to ensure the correct standards are being observed. They may or may not introduce themselves to you but please be aware they are likely to be in attendance.
