Our Under 7's & 8's Administrator, Mick Axe, has managed to obtain some sponsorship that is aimed at supporting the start-up of a Mini Soccer team.

We have decided to aim this at the Under 7's for 2012/13 who will all be new teams to our league. Our plan is that for every team that has the minimum number of registered players (five) registered by Friday 18th May we will place that team in a draw and the winning team will win the following; Ten full kits including goalkeeper with printing, badge, logo & number plus Team Rain Jackets with printing.

The sponsor is BLG who are a German company who run the contract for the logistics side of operations for IKEA and we are very grateful to BLG and Mick for agreeing and arranging this.

The new player registration form for 2012/13 is now available on the website and needs to be completed in full, and accompanied by a photo (j peg format on disk or memory stick or by email), a copy of the birth certificate and payment of £4 per registration (Chq payable to DDJSFL or cash). We hope this generous contribution from BLG will give all clubs an extra incentive to get their Under 7's registration's for 2012/13 in as soon as possible. 

We would like to remind every Under 9's and 10's manager that the HOME club now need to notify their results and BOTH team's scorers each Sunday by 2.00pm to their Age Group Administrator, Julie Gaines. This information can be sent by phone or text to Julie on 01709-866379 or 07792-321991 or email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The Special General Meeting held on Monday 13th February voted unanimously to introduce new rules for the DDJSFL. These rules take effect immediately and can be found on our website under Rules/Forms and then Standard Code of Rules. Everyone should take some time to read these thoroughly.

There are many changes but in the short term the most noteworthy from a playing point of view are; Under 11's will play 30 minutes each half, Under 13's will play 35 minutes each half and Under 15's will play 40 minutes each half. Kick Off times can now be set by the home team at any time between and including 9.30 and 11.30. Only times outside of this period need to be by mutual agreement. The home club must give full details of any match 5 days prior to the match (Tuesday for a Sunday fixture). In 11-a-side fixtures 6 substitutes can be used (and repeat substitutions are allowed as previously) so if a team has 17 registered players, all those players can now be involved on match day.

Under 9's and 10's now need to report their results and scorers on the day the match is played, by telephone on 01709-866379 or 07792-321991, or text on 07792-321991 or email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The Special General Meeting of the DDJSFL held on Monday 13th February voted overwhelmingly to introduce 9-a-side football for the Under 11's for season 2012/13. In other words, this season's Under 10's will NOT now be playing 11-a-side football next season.

The squad size that will be allowed will be discussed at the LMC meeting on Monday 5th March in order to put a proposal to the Annual General Meeting in May. For guidance for Under 10's managers who are making their plans for next season the general mood of the meeting was that the size of squad should be set at around 15 or 16 players. It is not our intention that this move results in youngsters being excluded from the game.

Regarding the Laws of the Game they are the same as for 11-a-side football with the exception of the pitch size (dimensions available from League Office).Repeat substitutions are allowed and the duration of play will be 30 minutes each half. If you have any queries or require any further information please do not hesitate to contact League Office on 01302-881256 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
