History

The MJPL was founded in 2009 by a group of football enthusiasts who wanted to create a high-quality competitive league for young players in the West Midlands.

The league started with just a few teams, but it has grown rapidly in recent years. The MJPL is now one of the largest and most successful amateur football leagues in the region.

The MJPL has helped to develop many talented young players who have gone on to play professional football.

Format

The MJPL season runs from September to May. Each team plays each other team in their division once, home and away.

The top two teams in each division at the end of the season are promoted to the next division, while the bottom two teams are relegated to the previous division.
