WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL YORK JUNIOR FOOTBALL WEB SITE
 

 

 CHANGED FIXTURES
All fixture lists contain some alterations. The under 19s, under 12s and under 9s have been significantly altered on account of team resignations in each age group. Please double check that you have downloaded the new fixture lists. The under 11s will be published when I receive them from the League Secretary. All others are available.

MINI SOCCER FIXTURES
This year more than half all competing clubs are fielding 3 or 4 teams. this has caused enormous problems trying to segregate teams to ease pressure on pitches on any given day. The fact that so many divisions contain odd numbers adds to the difficulty of co-ordinating the fixtures from that point of view. Last season I was asked for more fixtures in the under 7s and under 8s age ranges. I have agreed to do this but the consequence is a much greater risk of fixture congestion.

There will be days when 3 or 4 teams are all at home. There are two things you can do about this. Either 1) switch the venue or 2) for under 7s, 8s and 9s only, play the game on a different day. I do not need to re-organise fixtures for any age group except under 10s. If there are real problems with the number of fixtures I am happy to revert to the alternate week fixture list that we had last season for the under 7s and under 8s. IF THERE ARE ANY OBVIOUS ERRORS PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY

TEAM MANAGER INFOMATION
Team manager contact information has now been sent to all team managers who registered at the AGM in June. If you are a new team manager  and you do not have the information please email me your details and I will add them to the list.

Enjoy the season. GR
