Girls and boys bring out your football jerseys and spikes; it’s time to kick some ball.u00a0The Premier India Football Academy (PIFA), which claims it has been conducting the oldest and most professionally run league for children since 2005, is all set to kick off this year’s leagues.

Their Junior Football League (JFL), which accommodates five to 12 year-olds, was launched last year to introduce and encourage younger children to the sport. For senior children (13 to 18 year-olds) they have organised the Premier Football League. Although girls and boys will play together at the junior level, the senior girls have a league of their own this year.
