History

The HJFL was founded in 1972 and currently has 16 teams competing in two divisions. The teams are drawn from a variety of schools and local clubs.

The league has a strong focus on developing young players and providing them with a fun and enjoyable experience. The HJFL also runs a number of development initiatives, such as coaching courses and tournaments.

The season runs from September to April and each team plays each other team in their division twice, once at home and once away. The top two teams in each division at the end of the season are promoted to the next division, while the bottom two teams in each division are relegated to the previous division.
