Supporting a Pathway into Football

March 16, 2022

Sefton JFL are delighted to have the sponsorship from Liverpool Heartbeat. Sefton JFL was formed 3 years ago to provide a pathway for young players into league Football.

In the UK grassroots football starts at U7 but a lot of kids start playing a lot younger. Providing the players with structured games allows them to be confident and ready to play once the start in league football.

Although the format looks similar to a league to age and FA rules these are technically one of games each week. Currently there are 40 teams taking part every Sunday morning at LCFA Sefton.

The project was set up by local coaches Louise Worrall and Gerard O'Connor. They both run Northern Sports Academy for children aged 3-9 alongside grassroots club FC Northern. Their passion is player development and Sefton JFL allows them to reach different children across Merseyside.
