For Coaches
Take Your Team Where It Belongs
As a coach, you want more for your players — more competitive games, better coaching environments, and a league that values development as much as results. That’s exactly what the Junior Premier League delivers.
The JPL is the largest youth football league in the UK and one of the fastest-growing in the world. We welcome applications from ambitious coaches who want their team to compete at the highest level outside the pro academy system. To enter a team, you’ll need to meet certain standards around coaching qualifications, safeguarding, facilities and commitment to our values.
Benefits of joining the JPL:
- Compete weekly against the best clubs in your region
- Showcase your players in a national league structure
- Access national and international JPL events
- Raise your profile as a coach within the game
- Be part of a league that supports and celebrates coaching excellence
