Girls football

Hi there. I run an u13 girls team and we play in a boys league (so currently u12 boys league) we are entering 11 a side next season, but want to know if we can continue playing a year down in a boys league? Meaning we will be u14 girls playing in u13 boys league. I have tried to understand but can't seem to get a definitive answer. Any help is appreciated 

  • Hi Glenn, it is possible, You need to speak to your league and County FA. SCORY (the national rule set for youth league) does allow this under rule 4.F  "An all-female team can apply to the Competition to play an age group down in a mixed gender competition, subject to rule 8A(iii)&(iv) and provided the team has obtained approval from its Sanctioning Authority."
