Rules, Regulations & Support Services

Stay Onside with the Rules of the Game

Navigating the rules and regulations of youth football can be daunting for parents. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the maze. We’ll direct you to the official sources: the FA, Premier League, EFL, and the PFA (Professional Footballers Association). These governing bodies and associations set the standards, and it’s crucial to understand the rules they’ve established.

Our platform aims to simplify the complex jargon where we can, ensuring you understand the industry regulations. With our support, you can confidently navigate this journey, armed with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your child’s future.

Be sure to always contact the appropriate bodies for confirmation rather than find yourself with a red card.
