junior football

Young players' league

Junior football refers to organized football played by young people, typically children and teenagers below adult or professional level.

The age ranges and specific meanings vary by region and sport—in American football, it often means youth leagues for players under eighteen; in Australian and British contexts, it may refer to amateur or developmental competitions.
