Welcome to the Selby District Junior Football League

Welcome to the official website of The Selby & District Junior Football League. We are thrilled to be back for the upcoming season, and hope you can join us for all the hard work and fun. The Website is a new venture for us so while we are uploading items every day for now please browse the site to see what we are about.

We are affiliated to the West Riding County Football Association and we currently have over 5800 children with teams from U7 to U18 participating in grassroots football each weekend. The league incorporates over 400 teams covering an area including Castleford, Garforth, Goole, Leeds, Selby, Tadcaster, Wakefield and York with fixtures played on a Saturday morning.

With so many teams for young people in our league, we hope that there is an opportunity for all youngsters to enjoy playing football in their community.
