Central Lancs Junior Football League

The Central Lancashire Junior Football League (CLJFL) serves as a cornerstone for youth football development across the Lancashire region. Operating primarily on Sundays, the league provides structured competition for various age groups, including Under-11 teams like the Falcons who recently competed on March 2, 2025. The league combines competitive matches with dedicated training sessions, offering young players valuable opportunities to develop their skills and passion for the sport.

For parents looking to involve their children in organized football, CLJFL offers more than just weekend matches. Teams like those at Bishop Rawstorne in Croston conduct weekly training sessions, with Monday evening practices from 6-7pm on their 3G pitch. This commitment to regular skill development highlights the league's focus on player improvement alongside match experience.

The CLJFL maintains an active community presence through social media channels, where they share updates about fixtures, results, and club activities. With dedicated Facebook and Twitter accounts using the hashtag #CLJFL, the league creates a connected football community that extends beyond the pitch, keeping parents, players and supporters informed about all aspects of youth football in Central Lancashire.
