Junior grassroots football is the heartbeat of the game in the UK, shaping the next generation of players, coaches, referees, and lifelong fans. At the Junior Grassroots Hub, our mission is to champion this community at every level, providing practical support, resources, and a strong, independent voice for everyone involved.
One of the key ways we support grassroots football is by making vital information accessible to everyone. Our website acts as a central hub where clubs, coaches, referees, players, and parents can find everything from league directories and supplier contacts to practical guides and news about the junior game. We offer clear, independent advice on club management, player development, safeguarding, funding, and much more, ensuring that those at the heart of the grassroots game are always informed and empowered.
Grassroots clubs rely on passionate volunteers, dedicated coaches, and committed match officials. We celebrate and support their efforts through spotlight features, interviews, and initiatives that share their stories with the wider community. The Junior Grassroots Hub recognises the immense value of these individuals and works to connect them with the resources, training, and recognition they deserve.
A thriving grassroots scene depends on a strong sense of community. We provide opportunities for clubs, coaches, parents, and suppliers to network and share experiences. Our online forums, social media groups, and collaborative projects encourage discussion, support, and the sharing of best practices. By fostering these connections, we help create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can contribute and benefit.
At the Junior Grassroots Hub, we are committed to promoting inclusivity, diversity, and respect across the game. We advocate for equal opportunities for all children, regardless of background or ability, and support initiatives that break down barriers to participation. Through our content and campaigns, we encourage clubs to adopt inclusive practices and celebrate the unique contributions of every participant.
We actively run and support initiatives designed to give back to the junior grassroots community. Our Weekly Winners competition, for example, provides clubs with vital funds and recognises the dedication of volunteers and players. By involving the community in these projects, we aim to reward hard work, fund new opportunities, and create positive experiences for young footballers and their clubs.
As an independent platform, the Junior Grassroots Hub is able to represent the true voice of grassroots football. We listen to the challenges faced by our community and advocate for positive change with governing bodies, suppliers, and local authorities. Our independence means we can speak up on important issues and campaign for the best interests of clubs, players, and supporters.
Junior grassroots football faces constant challenges, but with the right support, it continues to thrive. The Junior Grassroots Hub remains committed to supporting this vital part of the game, championing every club, coach, referee, parent, and player. Together, we can ensure that the grassroots game remains accessible, vibrant, and full of opportunity for generations to come.

Kids will always want to win.
That’s part of the game.
But what they’ll remember most?
The teammate who picked them up.
The coach who believed in them.
The moments they felt proud of their effort.
If we protect effort, character, and growth…
the results will take care of themselves.
Grassroots football isn’t about perfect records.
It’s about building confident, resilient young people.
The Reality of Grassroots Volunteering - PLEASE READ ⤵
"In the last two years on my club’s committee, I’ve learned just how much goes on behind the scenes.
As a coach, you train, attend matches, maybe mark pitches, deal with parents and still pay your own child’s subs. That alone is hard work. But as a committee member, the workload multiplies. Even when I took three weeks off this year, I was still juggling:
* New and leaving teams
* Player enquiries and registrations
* Kit and equipment orders
* DBS checks and league meetings
* Parent complaints, subs chasing, and coach recruitment
All while working, raising a family, and paying the same fees as everyone else.
We get up early in the rain to inspect pitches, make tough calls, and yes, sometimes get it wrong. Yet I’ve heard parents criticise the very volunteers keeping their child’s team running.
Most clubs rely on a few people doing the work of many. We are unpaid volunteers giving up time with our families for your children.
So, before judging, please remember the effort behind the scenes, or better still, offer to help.
Because without volunteers, there is no club.
Thank you,
A grassroots volunteer"
For many, coaching is therapy — rain, mud, cold nights, and one quiet “Thanks, coach.” ❤👏
