In 2021/22), the Standard Code of Rules for Youth Football were changed. One of the biggest changes was the introduction of girls' teams playing a year down from what they are affiliated as. An Under 9s Girls Team could play within an Under 8s league programme. This has led to an increase in the number of girls’ teams playing within mixed youth football leagues. There has been a 58% increase in the county's mini-soccer figures since 2018/19 to today. For further clarity on any of the above, please contact your local area Football Development Officer.
