No leagues and no published scores. Under The FA's Standard Code of Rules for Mini Soccer and Youth Football (2026/27):
- Under 7s to Under 11s do not play in leagues. There are no league tables.
- Leagues and clubs may collect results for Under 7s to Under 11s but must not publish them or any grading tables. A club that publishes them can be fined.
- Under 7 (3v3) is non-competitive: no league tables, no points and no trophy events.
- Under 8 teams can play in a maximum of 3 trophy events a season, each lasting up to 2 weeks (6 weeks in total). Trophies can be awarded to the winners, and trophy event results can be published.
The aim is for children to learn about winning and losing in a fun setting without season-long pressure.
