REMINDER OF THE FA GUIDANCE AROUND U6S PLAYING FOOTBALL. 

A reminder of the FA guidance for U6s is below.

Children under the age of 6 should not be permitted or encouraged to play in a football match of any kind.

To clarify, FA Rule 8(C) states the following,

C)  A child who has not attained the age of six shall not play, and shall not be permitted or encouraged to play, in a match of any kind.

The rule is clear, a child who is under the age of 6 cannot play in football matches, including those arranged for competitive or ‘friendly’ purposes with other clubs.

A breach of this rule could result in the club being charged under FA Rule E1 – Failed to comply with the rules and regulations of the Football Association.

The FA rule on this is really clear, and is contained within the Standard Code Of Rules – Youth (SCORY)

Children Under 6 Years Old

‘A child who has not attained the age of six shall not play, and shall not be permitted or encouraged to play, in a match of any kind’

Clubs need to remember this when anyone within their club is advertising on social media pages for friendlies of tournaments involving Under 6 teams.
