The Tower Hamlets Youth league was formed in October 2010 to provide a structured football league for young people from 8 to 18 years old from Tower Hamlets and neighbouring boroughs. 

Previously, local organisations provided leagues football but there was lack of provision for younger age groups.  Two local organisations; The Bangladesh Football Association (BFA) and Sports Network Council (SNC) came together with support from London FA & Tower Hamlets Council to create a new unified league.

The main aims of the league are to:

• ·         Provide an organised football league for youth teams in Tower Hamlets and neighbouring boroughs
• ·         Increase football participation in the borough, particularly for those between 8-18 years old
• ·         Support the creation and development of youth teams in the borough
• ·         Promote exercise and healthy lifestyles to all young people
• ·         Increase community cohesion through football
• ·         Increase life skills and volunteering in the community

In the 2010/2011 season the league attracted 24 teams in U18, U16, U14, U12 and U10 age groups. The league involved teams mainly from Tower Hamlets but we are hoping to attract teams from other local boroughs too in future seasons.

The beauty of the league is that we take care of pitch bookings and referees.  All teams have to do is come and play at their allocated times.  The matches are usually played at the same venue every week and so teams, players and parents know where to go every week.  The league officials are there throughout the day to deal with any issues.
