Team Managers

So that the Teams from U11 up can add the required match stats to FA Fulltime you need to be set up in your Club Portal with the appropriate role set.

Please speak to your Club Secretary to ensure this is done. The league do not have access to do this.

To be able to report results and complete the match stats you need to be able to login to FA Fulltime. Please check with your club secretary yo can log in and make sure that you have verified you email address.

IF you have any issues regarding this then contact MUST be made with your league age group secretary

Players MUST be entered onto your Club Portal and allocated to a team or teams(s).  All boxes must be green before submitting to the league for approval e.g. ID check, Parental Consent etc.

Players can only play for one team in an age group in U11s and above. Players can be dual registered for a club. Players can also be dual registered for another team as long as they are registered to play in a different age group. Rule regarding playing up can be found in the League Rules.

In mini teams (U7-U10) they can be registered for more than one. League rule states that on match day a player can only play for one team on any given match day i.e. if a club has 2 teams called Eagles and Hawks then the player can only play for Eagles on match day 1.  For the following match day (match day 2) the same player could play for the Hawks (but only play for the Hawks)

All fixtures are set by the League and are on the FA Full-time system.

Mini League fixtures and cup competition information can be found on the league website here: https://www.tdyl.co.uk

All set fixtures must be played on the date set. Changing kick off times due to pitch clashes or any other valid reason must be notified and agreed with the league age group secretary. 

For match day postponements there are procedures to follow regarding postponing a game.

1.       The team wishing to postpone the game MUST contact the Age Group Secretary (AGS)

2.       Once agreed with the AGS, the Manager MUST complete the Match Day Postponement Form located on the league website here: https://www.tdyl.co.uk/match-postponement/
