Start your football journey!

Grassroots youth football is the lifeblood of the game and continues to thrive in Herefordshire. We support an incredible community of leagues, clubs, coaches, volunteers and parents to provide a safe and fun environment for young players to enjoy their football.

Working with these partners we provide children, teenagers and young adults of all abilities, genders, religions and ethnicities a wide range of opportuniyies to get involved in the game. From mini-soccer and festivals to competitive leagues and development centres, Herefordshire FA are involved in all aspects of the junior game.

Youth football in Herefordshire is all about offering players a fun and enjoyable introduction and continued experience in football. We want junior players to form a lifelong love of the beautiful game whilst developing their confidence and skills.

Small-sided formats such as 4v4 and 5v5 are at the forefront of delivery within our youth leagues as the Youth Development Review takes shape, and the future of the game is designed to increase the number of touches of the ball, develop confidence and skill in 1v1 situations while assissting with the long term player development of young footballers in this country.

There has never been a more exciting time to get into children's football.
