Hunts Youth League

The Hunts Youth League stands as a key football competition for young players in Huntingdonshire, offering structured play for children from under-7 to under-16 age groups. The league is currently accepting applications for the 2025/26 season, providing local teams an opportunity to participate in organized youth football starting later this year.

Recent developments in the league include important safety measures, with heading being phased out in U7-U11 matches over the next three seasons as part of an IFAB trial. This progressive approach demonstrates the league's commitment to player welfare and modern football practices.

Recognition of fair play remains central to the league's values, with Brampton Spartans Under 7 recently named as overall Fair Play Mark winners. This emphasis on sportsmanship alongside competition helps develop well-rounded young players who understand both the technical and ethical aspects of the sport.
