Competitive football for your school

At the Community Sports Foundation, we offer schools the chance to take part in a variety of engaging competitions and tournaments.

With a range of Schools Football Leagues hosted at our inspiring community hub at The Nest, we pride ourselves on delivering high‑quality tournaments for mixed teams across multiple age groups.

Our leagues provide a pathway into national schools football competitions, including the EFL U11 Kids Cup through our Norwich City Schools League. We also offer a participation‑focused route through our Canary 5’s Schools League.

If you think your team could benefit from some coaching sessions before the tournaments from the Foundation coaching team, please contact the Schools team for further information regarding prices and availability.
