Association Youth League

The Association Youth League (AYL) is an amateur football league for players aged 13 to 16 in New South Wales, Australia. It is administered by Football NSW and is open to teams from all over the state.

The AYL was first established in 2019 as a way to provide a higher level of competition for youth players in New South Wales. The league has grown rapidly since then and now features over 100 teams in each age group.

The AYL is a league-based competition with each team playing each other once during the regular season. The top four teams from each age group qualify for the finals, which are played in a knockout format.
