Youth Football at Fencibles comprises grades U13, U14, U15 and U16/17th. After U17 grade players move on to Senior Football. 

Youth grade teams participate in inter-club competitions, so will have both home and away games. 

The Northern Region Football (NRF) administers the draws, which are available online. Any changes to this will be communicated by the team manager and/or coach.of games are generally consistent, but may sometimes vary from week to week depending on location, weather conditions and field availability.

The football season will play over term 2 and term 3 of the school calendar. There will be no football over the first two weekends of the July school holidays, but there will be football on the last weekend of the holidays.

There are two levels of teams at Youth Football grades:

• Development Plus Squad Teams (Development Plus Programme) – These are the top talent teams for each of our youth grades and are for players that wish to play and train two or three times a week with a dedicated professional coach. Age groups covered are 13th, 14th, 15th and U16/17 Grades. Players will need to attend trials and or be invited by selection from our Summer Academies. Development Plus Information & Youth Boys Development Plus Information. 
• Youth Social Teams – for players who aren’t selected for one of the Development Plus Squads or who would prefer to play a more social level of football. Teams will be put together based on schools they attend, requests to play with friends and team from prior years (if they have played previously). These teams will play grading games at the start of the season and subsequently be placed in an appropriate league to deliver a fun level of competition. Click here for more information.
