Youth Football Scotland is a not-for-profit social enterprise with the primary target of providing a one stop shop for anyone connected to the game of youth football Scotland-wide. No matter what capacity you hold, from head of a big youth club to a parent on the sidelines - we seek to fill any gaps and promote good practice in already active marketplaces. We are grateful for the support given to us by Scotland UnLtd (Social Entrepreneurs Fund), SIE and Young Scot, who have helped make YFS possible.
