YOUTH
FOOTBALL

Youth football has evolved significantly in recent years. New formats have been introduced to enhance ball touches, boost confidence, and support young players' development at every stage.

Small-sided formats like 5v5 and 7v7 are leading the way in mini soccer within youth leagues, with all leagues now incorporating a 9v9 format before transitioning to 11v11.

For the 2024/25 season, we are offering children of all abilities the chance to participate in youth football within the Mercian Youth Football League, starting from u8s.

Our teams are currently full, however please contact us to see if our inclusive academy is suitable for your child.

Please note that our Inclusive Academy does not constitute league format training and complies with FA regulations for pay and play football.

UNLEASH YOUR INNER LIONESS

With almost three million active female players, football is the biggest Women’s team sport in England – but there is plenty of room for more people to get involved.

Women’s football across the Birmingham County FA ranges from recreational small sided games, to professional teams with international players who are at the highest level of the game.

We are promoting and signposting more women and girls to play the beautiful game, which includes one of the largest Youth Female Leagues in the country.

We are aligned to the FAs strategy objectives to be achieved by 2024.

FUTSAL

Youth Futsal is Back

Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played on a flat indoor pitch with hockey sized goals and a size 4 ball with a reduced bounce. It is played to touchlines and all players are free to enter the penalty area and play the ball over head height. Games are 20 minutes per half, played to a stopping clock (similar to basketball) with time-outs permitted.

There are a number of differences to our traditional version of small sided football, but the dominant elements are the absence of rebound boards and amendments in the laws that encourage and foster skilful, creative play above the physical contact that tends to be a feature of English five-a-side.

The nature of the game places a large emphasis on technical ability, agility, playing under pressure.

Futsal provides an excellent environment to develop techniques that can be translated into the 11-a-side game.
