We are pleased to present the draft YCC structure based on this year’s Club’s final standings. As outlined in the Football SA Competition Regulations, final YCC League structures will depend on team nominations and each club’s ability to meet YCC team requirements. Tier 1 Boys and Girls clubs must field all four age groups, and any clubs granted a one-year exemption this season in other Tiers will be required to fill all four age groups for 2026.

The below draft is based on clubs that participated this season. Football SA also welcomes YCC team nominations from the Clubs that are joining the expanded Men’s State League competitions next year and those that compete within the Men’s State League.

Football SA can confirm that the Football SA Girls State Squad will not be included in the YCC Boys Tiers for the 2026 season.  The YCC Girls Tier 1 and Tier 2 structures as communicated to clubs in the start of the 2025 will be as follows for the 2026 season acknowledging that each club must adhere to the Competition Regulations. 

We look forward to another exciting YCC season ahead, continuing to build on the strong foundations established this year and further supporting the development of players and clubs across the competition.
