Together, we have successfully delivered another unbelievable year of youth football — crossing the incredible milestone of 25,000 games played.

That figure represents thousands of hours of effort, planning, logistics, passion and dedication from everyone involved across our community. It is a milestone that reflects the scale of what we have achieved together and the commitment of the people who make it all possible.

From our incredible clubs and dedicated coaches to our talented players, supportive parents, passionate referees and hardworking volunteers, every single person has played a part in making this season such a success.

This achievement belongs to all of you.

We cannot thank you enough for everything you do to make the game we love possible.

The People Behind the Game

While the focus is often on what happens on the pitch, we know that delivering youth football at this scale takes an enormous amount of work behind the scenes.

From organising fixtures and managing logistics to preparing venues, supporting clubs and ensuring thousands of players can take to the pitch each week, the dedication of everyone involved is what allows the Junior Premier League and JPL WARRIORS to continue growing.

And even as one season comes to an end, the work does not stop.

Behind the scenes, we know how relentlessly everyone is working to prepare for the new season ahead — and that hard work does not go unnoticed.

A New Season, A New Benchmark

The scale of what we are building together is truly unmatched.

As we look ahead, we are preparing to deliver approximately 30,000 matches across England this season.

By player numbers, we are now three times larger than the next biggest league in the country, while remaining the only youth league to cover the entire nation.

These numbers are remarkable, but they are about more than statistics. They represent thousands of young players being given the opportunity to play, develop, compete and grow through football.

 

The Junior Premier League and JPL WARRIORS are continuing to set the benchmark for youth football nationwide.
