Players in the U7's must be in school years 1 or 2, but those in year 1 must have reached their 6th birthday to be eligible to play in a match. As a result of the FA's Youth Development Review, from season 2013/14 Under 7's are not permitted to play in leagues where results are collected or published or winner trophies are presented.  Under 7's can play in a maximum of three trophy events during the season, lasting a maximum of four weeks each.  Under 7's play in a maximum 5 v 5 format.  Note that the Power Play Law will apply to these age groups:

• If a team is losing by a four goal difference they can put an additional player on – so 5v5 becomes 6v5.
• If the score returns to less than a four goal difference the team takes off a player. It does not have to be the last player to come on.
• If a team goes on to be losing by a six goal difference a further additional player can be added – so 6v5 becomes 7v5.

The League organises festivals throughout the season at a central venue in which a different Club is invited to host each month.  Clubs who are not members of the BCGFL are also welcome to enter teams into these events.

Current dates for U7's this season are:
