Proudly Supported By

We are pleased to announce the opening of applications for league membership of the KicKStart Youth Football League 2025/26 Season. This will be for Sunday football for age groups, U7's, U8's, U9's, U10s U11's and U12's.

​

It is the responsibility of Club Secretaries to re-apply to the League for membership. The priority is for Club Secretaries to complete one Club application form only and a Team application form for each team applying for membership. The Club application form should be returned by 26th June 2025 (in order for Clubs to be registered in time for the AGM). Team application forms can be sent in separately but the deadline for receipt of all forms is 1st July 2025 to guarantee acceptance. You can now complete your applications online through our new portal by clicking on the purple buttons below. You can also still download the PDF version and post or email them to us. The online team application allows you to bulk upload all of your teams on one form.

​​​​Games will be played at central venues as usual.

​

As Usual we will be providing guaranteed FA Qualified referees for each and every game , all pitches will be set up and broken down by our site staff including goals, nets, respect barriers etc and toilet / changing facilities will be available at all venues along with catering services serving hot and cold food and drinks.

​

This season will also see the continuation of our Referee Mentor Programme which will include periodic feedback forms for managers to report back to KicKStart what referees are doing well and what needs improvement, along with several workshops provided to assist referees to improve their skills. Referees will also be mentored by referees working at a very high standard from the FA who will provide feedback and reports to again help improve the performance of referees at our venues.

​

What used to be described as extraordinary weather is fast becoming what we see as the norm, we have introduced several new measures to ensure we can play as much football as possible through the winter months. These include but are not limited to: Increased numbers of pitches to allow us to rotate and rest pitches where required. Improved pitch maintenance programmes which will allow our maintenance teams to offer additional services and treatments when needed. Investment in the best machinery and equipment for our maintenance teams to provide pitch care that is required, plus FA interventions to provide surveys of the facilities and specialist teams and equipment to improve the quality and drainage of our sites where most needed. We are also looking to increase the number of venues within our structure and hopefully add 3G facilities to our portfolio of venues.

​

Our aim is to provide your teams with the best playing surfaces, at the best venues whilst providing adequate parking access, great facilities and catering, quality referees and on site management, which in turn will make for happy Children, parents, supporters and managers. We strive for the KicKStart experience to be a positive and fun experience for everyone involved, and we will continue to innovate and work towards our goal. There are many other new introductions that we are planning as we move forward with our vision, we can reveal more at our induction meetings where we can explain a little more about the above and also other interesting progressions we may have. Induction meetings have been split by agegroup for Team Managers / Assistants / representitives to attend and are planned to last for 1 hour after which you will be able to collect your player cards.

 

Details of the induction meetings are to follow.​

​

Matchday pricing will remain the same as last year with no increases planned.
