Now the UK Government has given approval for outdoor competitive grassroots football and training sessions to restart, this detailed guidance for leagues has been produced by The FA in relation to football in England.

It applies to outdoor youth and adult football. For now, indoor football and futsal are not permitted.

This guidance is for grassroots leagues who operate under the Standard Code of Rules (SCOR) and the Standard Code of Rules for Mini-Soccer and Youth Competitions (SCORY),

The Standard Code is mandatory for all competitions at Regional National League System (NLS) Feeder League level and below, and The FA Women’s Pyramid, excluding the Barclays FA Women’s Super League (BFA WSL), FA Women’s Championship (FA WC).

The document aims to help and support and raise issues to consider as a league organiser.
