Surrey Primary League

Established in 1994, the SPL brings together a wide network of youth clubs from Surrey and nearby areas. The competition is not a single-club programme: families looking for football will normally join one of its member clubs, each of which manages its own teams and places.

Football with welfare and behaviour in view

The league’s stated ethos places enjoyment, sporting conduct and child welfare at the centre of participation for players, spectators and officials. Its rules and policies include Respect codes of conduct for players, coaches, officials and spectators, alongside safeguarding and equality material.

Safeguarding is a prominent part of the league’s public guidance. It says that procedures must be followed, including DBS checks and raising a concern where appropriate. The SPL was also selected by The FA as a flagship league in The Greater Game healthy-lifestyles programme, a recognition linked to its commitment to the wellbeing of young players.

Joining a local club

The SPL publishes its member-club directory and has information for clubs considering the competition. That makes the league a useful starting point for a parent or player looking to identify nearby youth clubs, while enquiries about a particular age group or team should go to the relevant club.
