The youth league uses central venues for its matchdays, with current fixtures held at locations including St George’s Park and the University of Wolverhampton’s Walsall site. Matches are scheduled on Sundays, with programme details varying through the season.

Current teams include disability sections associated with professional and community clubs, alongside independent local teams. These examples reflect the competition’s mix, not a permanent list of members.
