History

The Colliers Wood Little League was founded in 2003 after feedback from the residents association who felt that an organised sporting activity would help bring together all members of the local community.

Little League Football is a registered charity that provides free football for children up to 13 years old that might not otherwise play regularly for their schools or other organisations. A strong community involvement is a key feature. The emphasis is on mass participation rather than elitism, enthusiasm and endeavour rather than ability. Players are encouraged to develop team spirit, self discipline and sportsmanship.

Since inception in 1968, formation of new leagues has continued and now number more than 30, evidence that there is a demand for this unique concept of youth football. Further expansion is an ongoing objective.
