Oxfordshire Youth Football League

The league uses the FA youth formats of 5v5, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11. This gives clubs a competition structure spanning the small-sided game through to the full-sided format. Current fixtures, results and tables are published on The FA Full-Time.

Player-centred grassroots football

OYFL describes its purpose as child-centred football in a player-centred environment. It follows the Respect programme and works with member clubs on behaviour at matches. The league also states that safeguarding concerns should be reported through the appropriate channels.

Inclusion is a stated part of the competition’s approach. OYFL has an equality policy and is a Kick It Out Equality Charter League, with a commitment that people should be able to take part without discrimination.

For clubs and families

The league is run for its member clubs and has a new-club enquiry route for clubs considering entry. Parents looking for a local team will usually need to contact a suitable member club directly; the league’s public information provides the wider competition context, while clubs can explain their own places and arrangements.
