Youth Football on the Isle of Man

Youth Football

Get involved in local youth football

There has never been a more exciting time to get into children's football.

The Isle of Man FA supports an incredible grassroots community made up of the Junior Football League, clubs, coaches, volunteers and parents to provide a safe and fun environment for young people to play football.

Our staff members and board work hard with these partners to provide children, teenagers and young adults of all abilities with a wide range of opportunities to get involved in the game.

Small-sided formats are at the forefront of delivery within our youth leagues, designed to increase the number of touches of the ball, develop confidence and skill in 1v1 situations while assisting with the long term player development of young footballers in the island.

Girls across the county will be provided with increased opportunities to play football after a new nationwide participation programme was announced.

Let's make football safe, not sorry

Reporting Concerns

It'S EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY 

If you feel that an adult connected to your league or club (e.g. a referee, coach or a volunteer) is mistreating someone under the age of 18, there are various confidential ways you can report this.

By ‘mistreating’, we mean behaving towards under-18s in a physical or verbal way you believe is threatening or makes the young person feel scared or bad.

Find out more and watch a short film The FA has produced explaining how to report your concerns. Of course, everything is completely confidential.
