Younger age groups are organised through a Central Venue format (U8s-U10s) at two venues; North (Chase Lodge Playing Fields) and West (Rectory Park, Northolt). This allows girls at that age to find their love for the game and enjoy playing football with all the other teams on a fortnightly basis.
From U11 and above, the teams are organised through a home and away format. We have been able to grow our league to have multiple divisions at each age group, enabling all the girls to have competitive exciting football to develop them as a player.

Despite football being London’s most popular participation sport, unless you have a team or large group of friends to play with, it is sometimes difficult to find chances to play. Footy Addicts was developed to solve this problem, and makes it more convenient for people to organise, find and play matches. The focus is on participation and enjoyment of the game, creating a welcoming atmosphere for people to play, meet new people and stay healthy.
London FA recognised the growing demand for shorter, more bite-sized forms of the game - Footy Addicts is now recognised as an official partner for small sided football, and is London FA’s largest affiliated small sided provider, with over 400 teams.
Use the Footy Addicts platform to play football, organize games, socialise, keep fit and have fun!

100FC
100FC is a game-changing programme backed by significant investment from the Wembley National Stadium Trust. In line with the FA’s national strategy for women’s and girls’ football, we are leading the drive regionally, with a three-year project to recruit and train 100 new female coaches per year through a funded coaching pathway.
100FC is a programme for females (16+) across London, who will be supported with their first steps in coaching including funding for coaching courses and coaching placements across a range of organisations.
The programme aims to address the dearth of female coaches in the capital and to support the rapidly increasing player participation numbers with a ready, willing and able workforce who have been given the opportunity to flourish in a safe and developmental coaching environment.
