Competitive football for your school

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

From the Schools League to EFL Utilita Cups, through to the Premier League Primary Stars Football Tournaments, we pride ourselves on the quality and delivery of our tournaments, catering to an array of ages and mixed teams.

Over 1,500 students from schools across Norfolk and Suffolk attend our tournaments each year.

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