Local Leagues

In Sheffield & Hallamshire we have several league opportunities for teams to play in. Some of our leagues offer local competition with little travel while others are spread across the county to provide more competitive football.

All leagues are formally structured with rules in place. Leagues include traditional 11v11, youth football, small sided (5v5, 7v7, 9v9), disability football, recreational, walking football, and other flexible formats.

To join a league below please contact the listed league secretaries, your team will also have to be affiliated to the county FA - more guidance on this can be found here.
