Structure

The Nidderdale Junior Football League is divided into four divisions: U7, U8, U9, and U10/U11. Each division has a set number of teams, and the teams play each other home and away. The top teams in each division at the end of the season are promoted to the next division, while the bottom teams are relegated to the lower division.
