The EFL U1ss Kids Cup, is our flagship primary school football competition for mixed gender U11s Teams.

We will host 3 qualifying competitions in December with top teams being invited to the finals at Derby County's Training ground. The winning team will then go on to represent Derby County at the regional round with the potential to play at Wembley if they win. 

Schools can enter one of the below dates for the qualification round December - John Port Spencer Academy

03/12/24 Racecourse Playing Fields 

04/12/24 Lees Brook

This year the competition has increased squad sizes. Games will be 7-a-side with 2 rolling subs. Meaning a maximum squad size of 9. 

Schools will need to submit team sheets and consent forms for players which will be shared a month prior to the first competition round. 

Schools can enter one team initially, if there are spaces left, schools will be invited to enter additional teams. 

All games will be played on a  3G Surface, so players need appropriate footwear and shin pads.
