Leigh United is a FA charter standard community based youth football club run by volunteers with the aim of developing local children in Grassroots football.

Established in 2009 by parents wanting to create a club where children can equally participate and enjoy football.

Our club philosophy is to help children grow, to improve their football skills and love of the game; to work as a team in a fun, active, social environment.

We're very proud of our club community spirit and all of our players and parents that make Leigh United a really special family football club.

To kick-off the 2018-19 youth football season, The Football Association has announced a renewed focus on the Respect programme as it enters its ten-year anniversary. 

‘We Only Do Positive’ is The FA’s new strategic approach is to emphasise the role of parents and coaches while highlighting the importance of positive behaviour and environments – both on and off the pitch – for young footballers involved in mini-soccer and youth football.

The FA’s Respect programme aims to educate parents and coaches on their roles in creating a fun, safe and inclusive environment for players to ensure the campaign is embraced throughout the age groups and result in sustained participation from players and volunteers alike. 

Our club officials are parents that have taken on the responsibility of a voluntary role to ensure the club continues to function - for any concerns or questions please contact us.
