Following confirmation from the league that we are a suitable match for your club, submit a full application on the
EEYFL Club Registration System. Only one person per Club should be responsible for the Club Registration / Renewal. This is usually the Club Secretary but for larger clubs, this can also be a different person nominated by the club to be the person responsible for all matters relating to EEYFL. This is the person to whom all league communications will be sent and we refer to that person as the EEYFL Club Secretary, and he/she should be the person who registers as the Registration Owner on the Club Registration System.
All EEYFL Club Secretaries & Team contacts relating to the team(s) registered will need to renew or
register on the
EEYFL Club & Team Contacts System. It is the responsibility of the EEYFL Club Secretary to ensure all team contacts have renewed / registered before the start of the season so that opposition managers can securely view a directory with up to date details for teams.
Your EEYFL Club Secretary will be sent an invoice for the Club & Team(s) entered which will be payable on or before August 1st. If you make any updates to teams entered, please also
email
the league to let them know so any impact can be assessed.

of opposition managers / contacts within teams in the same age groups as yours to arrange fixtures.

PLAYER REGISTRATIONS / RENEWALS
EEYFL is active on The FA's Portal. All players must be entered on the FA's Club Portal System and approved by the league before playing fixtures.
The FA's Club Portal System is generally available for the next season in June. Before you register / renew your players you are responsible for ensuring your Club, Teams and Officials are set up correctly on the Club Portal System with your County FA.
Your Club's Player Registration Officer(s) (setup by your Club), can then
sign in to the
Club Portal System and register or renew players. The following is required for each player:
- Full name and date of birth is first used to search if the player already exists in WGS. If so, they may be attached to another Club / Team.
- Passport style photo (appears on Squad List).
- Proof of date of birth (verification that passport or birth certificate has been checked - random requests for proof of date of birth may be undertaken throughout the season).
- Offline consent from the parent to submit player's data (or can be done via the Club Portal if parent email entered).
- Confirmation that the player is an English qualified player (i.e. has not played outside England since the age of 10) and does not require
International Clearance.
- Assign players to teams.
- A FAN number is automatically generated for newly registered players.
- Once the season has started, any new player must be submitted to the league for approval by before 10pm on Thursday to be eligible for that weekend’s fixtures.
- There is no email notification once approved, so you will need to check periodically if the league has approved the player(s).
At the start of the season, and thereafter if you register any new players during the season, download the Team Squad List to be presented at the start of every match.
If you have any general questions regarding player registrations, email The FA's Player Registration Support. For player specific enquiries regarding league approvals or rejections, email the League's Player Registration Support.
Each Team must have the following number of Players registered by 15 August before the start of each playing season:
- 5v5: 5 minimum
- 7v7: 7 minimum
- 9v9: 9 minimum
- 11v11: 11 minimum
Any team with fewer players registered than the minimum will be fined £3 per player short (max £25 per team).
Transfer of players is carried out using the standard process within the FA Club Portal .
