How does it work

Firstly a teacher registers his or her school and becomes League Chairman.

A Registration Pack is sent to each school at the start of September containing everything you need to set up SFL ahead of the main competition that starts in October.

Pupils, teachers and parents can use the Entry Forms provided to select their team and must purchase an Entry Voucher before they can register their team online. The Entry Voucher holds a unique code that registers their team into your school league.

When the season starts their weekly points and positions in the various leaderboards are updated by SFL (usually Monday mornings, or the morning after any Premier League fixtures). The standings are displayed on your own personalised school pages and sent to the Chairman by email each week.

Pupils can check their progress by either logging in or entering the school PIN on the homepage.They do not have to use an email address to take part.

The Chairman has exclusive access to their Chairman's Zone on the website. From here they can promote, set up, manage and pay for their league.
