Mini football, where it all starts

Our Mini section, the U/7 to U/11 age groups, is the entry point to the whole game. In 2026 clubs entered 299 mini teams, close to a third of every team in the association. Mini numbers are the leading indicator of our future: today's U/8 is tomorrow's senior player, coach and referee, so we watch this section closely and back the clubs that grow it.

Our match officials make the game happen every weekend. If you have ever thought about taking up the whistle, the association will help you get started.
Wayne Engelbrecht, Head of Referees

The role of the referee

The referee is the sole on-field authority for a match. He or she applies the seventeen Laws of the Game, keeps players safe, manages the contest fairly, and protects the spirit of the game. The referee's decisions on points of fact connected with play are final. Assistant referees support the referee in the senior promotion leagues.

Good refereeing is quiet, consistent and respected. It lets the football, and the players, be the story. Every club, player, coach and spectator shares a duty to respect match officials and to support them in doing a difficult job well.

How refereeing is structured at CTTLFA

Head of Referees

An elected member of the Management Committee who oversees the operational work of the Referees Committee, reports monthly to Mancom, and is the liaison with SAFA Cape Town and SAFA National on courses and match-official matters (Constitution 7.14).

Referees Committee

Runs refereeing day to day: it registers and grades officials, tables the referee lists each season, appoints referees to the senior promotion leagues through its appointment convenor, and maintains the referees' code of conduct.

Cape Town Tygerberg Referees

The collective of match officials: registered CTT referees, non-club affiliated referees and the club referees supplied by every affiliated club. Together they cover the league and cup programme each weekend.

Where it fits: the framework we follow

FIFA Laws of the Game

The seventeen Laws, maintained by the IFAB, govern how the game is played and officiated worldwide. Every CTTLFA match is played under them.

SAFA

Referees are registered through SAFA, and courses and examinations are run with the SAFA National Examinations Board. Our standards follow SAFA and SAFA Cape Town.

CTTLFA Constitution

Establishes the Head of Referees and the Referees Committee, and their duties within the association's governance.

Rules & Regulations

Set out appointments, referee grading, the club obligation to supply officials, and how the game is run on match day.

What clubs must do

Every affiliated club supplies at least two qualified referees who are available to officiate their home games (Rules & Regulations 2.8). If a club does not have two qualified members, it must send members to a referees' course and pass the examination. Club referees are submitted to the Referees Committee before the season, on the prescribed form, with their current grading.

Referee courses & development

The association runs referees' courses through the season with the SAFA National Examinations Board, from entry level through the grades, followed by examination. In 2025 the referees' department presented thirteen courses across various venues, supported weekly referee assessment, and mentored a group of talented young officials into the ranks.

  • Entry-level through to senior grades, with examination.
  • Weekly assessment and mentoring to develop officials.
  • A development pathway for young match officials.
  • Simplified Laws and Levels 1 to 3 are conducted by the LFA, Level 4 by the Region, and Level 5 by the Province.

The SAFA & CAF course pathway

Beyond match-day officiating, football's coaching and development qualifications follow the SAFA and CAF course pathway, delivered in our region by SAFA Cape Town. It runs from the entry-level D course up to the elite A course, with each level building on the one before. Match officials, in turn, progress through SAFA's officiating grades from local level into regional, national and ultimately FIFA appointments. Both pathways start with a course through SAFA Cape Town.

SAFA D
Entry level

The introductory course and the starting point for grassroots coaching and development.

CAF C
Developing

Builds on the D licence with deeper technical, tactical and match-management content.

CAF B
Advanced

An advanced qualification for those working at a higher competitive level.

CAF A
Elite

The top of the CAF pathway, for the senior competitive game.

Courses are run through SAFA Cape Town. Referee and coaching courses, their dates and how to enter are handled by our regional mother body. See the current course offering at SAFA Cape Town, or speak to the association's referees' department to get started with officiating.

Senior football is the competitive heart of the association, played across our divisions every weekend, hard, fair and well.
Gregory Nicholls, Vice-President: Senior Football

What senior football is

Senior football brings together the association's senior teams in league and cup competition across the season. It is competitive, structured and played to SAFA standards, with promotion and relegation between divisions and knockout football running alongside the leagues.

For the current divisions, fixtures, results and standings, the Match Centre is always the live picture. This page is the home of the senior game itself, its focus and its people.

Junior football puts enjoyment and development first, in a safe environment where every child has a pathway to grow.
Grant Scholtz, Vice-President: Youth Football

What junior football is

Junior football gives young players their first taste of organised, age-group competition. It is fun-first and development-led, played in a safe environment where children learn the game, make friends and grow in confidence, season by season.

Safeguarding sits at the centre of everything we do in the junior game. For live age-group fixtures, results and standings, the Match Centre is always the current picture.

The Mini section — U/7 to U/11

Mini football is where a child's football life begins. The Mini section covers the U/7 to U/11 age groups and is played small-sided, in the format set out in our Rules and Regulations, built around touches on the ball, enjoyment and belonging rather than results.

It is also the number the association watches most closely. Mini participation today is the single best indicator of our junior and senior numbers in the years to come, because these are the players, coaches and referees of the next decade. In 2026 clubs entered 299 mini teams, close to a third of every team in the association, and we work with clubs to keep that base strong and growing.

Women's football is one of the fastest-growing parts of our game, and every player deserves the chance to compete and belong.
Desiree da Silva, Vice-President: Women's Football

What women's football is

Women's football brings together women's and girls' teams in league and cup competition, and it is growing every season. It offers a genuine, competitive home for players of every age who want to compete, improve and be part of a football community.

Our aim is a game that keeps growing, with more teams, more players and more opportunity. For live fixtures, results and standings, the Match Centre is always the current picture.

How mini football is organised

Our mini programme runs across three zones, shown here by colour. Each club is placed in the zone closest to it, so young children play their football locally and parents spend less time on the road. Within a zone, clubs field teams at each age group from Under-7 to Under-11.

Find your club below to see its zone and how many teams it runs at your child's age. The map shows where every mini club plays, coloured by zone.

Find your club and zone

The three zones and the clubs in each, with the number of teams entered at every age group for the current season. Totals are shown at the foot of each zone.

How mini football is played. At Under-7 to Under-11 the game is about first touches, confidence and enjoyment rather than league tables. Teams play within their zone so travel stays short for families, and match days are arranged locally between the clubs. Children register through their club. The rules below are the association's Mini Football regulations, issued by the Vice President: Youth Football and sent to all clubs, and they apply the same way across the Blue, Green and Purple zones.

Rules & format

Mini football is played in two age bands, each with its own format, ball and pitch size. Here is how a match day works, followed by the principles that apply to every age group and the full rule documents to download.

No card, no play

Every player must be registered for the season, and all coaches, managers and referees must be SAFA (Cape Town) card-carrying members.

Everyone plays

Unlimited rolling substitutions. In the Under-7 to Under-9 game every child must play at least one full period.

No fixed goalkeepers

Before Under-10 a different child goes in goal each period, so no one is pigeon-holed as the keeper too early.

No offside, no camping

There is no offside, but players may not "camp" more than two metres beyond the last defender. Officials guide the children.

Only the referee on the pitch

Coaches and substitutes stay off the field. Where space allows they may stand behind the goal near the corner, never behind the posts.

Safety first

The hosting club has a trained first aider on match days. No spectators behind the goal line, and everyone stays two metres off the touchline.

The rules in full

What our Constitution says

Development is a founding object

Object 2.1 of the Constitution commits the association to the encouragement, promotion, development and administration of football across its area, on a basis of non-racism, non-sexism and non-ageism, so that age is never a basis for excluding any child from the game. Mini football is where that development begins.

Youth football has its own leadership

The Constitution creates dedicated Youth Football and Technical Development portfolios, chaired by the Vice President: Youth Football (article 7.10), who is responsible for the youth and development leagues, for setting up age-group structures and competitions with the Operations Manager, and for keeping youth on the agenda at every General Meeting.

In short: mini and youth football are not an afterthought in our rules. They sit in the objects of the association and carry their own committee and office-bearer, because the youngest players are where the association's future is built.

Getting your child started

Registration and team entries for mini football are handled through affiliated clubs and the association office. Find a club near you, and read how we keep children safe in our football.

Why safeguarding matters

Safeguarding is protecting children and adults at risk from abuse, harm and neglect, and giving them a positive, enjoyable experience of football. It is not an add-on. It is a shared duty that sits with every club, coach, official, volunteer, parent and spectator in the association.

Clubs have a duty of care towards the young people in their charge. Getting safeguarding right protects children first, and it also protects volunteers and the club by making expectations clear and by dealing with concerns properly and consistently.

Concerns without delay
Start where you are. We know most clubs do not yet have a formal safeguarding process in place, and that is understood. The aim is not to have everything sorted overnight. It is to begin: to talk about it, name someone to hold it, and take the first few steps. The association is putting a simple safeguarding policy in place, aligned to the SAFA National Safeguarding Policy, that clubs can adopt, so no club has to start from a blank page.

Creating safe spaces: everyday good practice

Most of safeguarding is simply good coaching and a good club culture. These are the everyday habits that keep children safe and make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Many of them cost little or nothing, and every club can start today.

An open environment

Coach and work with children in the open, where others can see. Avoid being alone and out of sight with a child.

Appropriate distance

Keep physical contact appropriate and necessary. When you need to guide a young player, explain what you are doing and why.

Positive role models

Set the tone through your own conduct. Children learn respect, fair play and self-control from the adults around them.

Constructive feedback

Encourage and correct without shouting down or belittling. Feedback should build a player up, never tear them down.

Awareness

Know the signs, know who your Safeguarding Officer is, and know that a concern should always be passed on.

Skill and development

Well-run, age-appropriate sessions where children are learning and enjoying themselves are safer sessions.

The six safeguarding principles

Empowerment

People are supported to make their own decisions and give informed consent. Children are listened to and taken seriously.

Prevention

It is better to act before harm occurs. Good practice, awareness and clear boundaries stop problems before they start.

Proportionality

The response is the least intrusive one appropriate to the risk presented, and is measured and fair.

Protection

Support and representation are given to those in greatest need, and action is taken to keep them safe.

Partnership

Safeguarding works best when clubs, families, the association and local services work together.

Accountability

Everyone is clear about their role, and safeguarding practice is transparent and open to scrutiny.

Building a safe club, step by step

You do not need all of this on day one. Think of it as a path to build along, starting with the first two or three and adding the rest over time. This is what a well-safeguarded club looks like once it is fully in place.

1
A Safeguarding Officer

A named, contactable person responsible for safeguarding at the club, who receives concerns, keeps records securely and knows how to escalate.

2
Vetting of adults

Anyone working with children is screened before they start: a SAPS police clearance, the National Register for Sex Offenders under the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007, and Part B of the National Child Protection Register under the Children's Act 38 of 2005.

3
A safeguarding policy

A written policy that says how the club keeps children safe, who is responsible, and what to do when a concern is raised. Reviewed regularly and shared with everyone.

4
A code of conduct

Clear standards of behaviour for coaches, volunteers, players, parents and spectators, agreed up front and applied consistently.

5
Training and awareness

Everyone who works with young people knows the basics: what abuse looks like, what good practice looks like, and how to report a concern.

6
Risk assessment

Activities, trips, tournaments and travel are thought through in advance so that foreseeable risks to children are managed.

Not sure where to begin? Start with three things: name a person at the club who will hold safeguarding, agree a short code of conduct for coaches, players and parents, and adopt the association's safeguarding policy once it is available. That is a real start, and you can build from there.

Recognising when something is wrong

Categories of abuse

1Emotional — persistent lack of love or attention, harsh criticism, threats, or being constantly put down.
2Physical — being hurt on purpose, including through excessive or inappropriate training or exercise.
3Sexual — any sexual activity or contact with a child, in person or online.
4Neglect — failing to meet a child's basic needs, or leaving them at risk of harm, cold, hunger or injury.

Poor practice to watch for

Unnecessary physical contact, spending time alone with a child away from others, favouritism, sharing lifts or private messages inappropriately, or ignoring the club's own rules. Poor practice is not always abuse, but it creates risk and must be addressed. Trust your instincts. If something does not feel right, raise it.

If a child tells you something

Do

  • Stay calm, listen carefully and take them seriously.
  • Reassure them they were right to tell you.
  • Record what was said, in the child's own words, as soon as you can.
  • Report it to the Safeguarding Officer promptly.

Don't

  • Promise to keep it a secret. You cannot.
  • Investigate, question or interview the child yourself.
  • Confront the person the concern is about.
  • Delay. Pass it on the same day.

Reporting a concern, step by step

1
Something worries you

A child tells you something, or you notice signs of harm or poor practice.

2
Respond well

Stay calm, listen and reassure. Do not promise to keep it secret, and do not investigate.

3
Write it down

Record what was said or seen, in the child's own words, with the date and time.

4
Report the same day

Tell your club's Safeguarding Officer without delay.

5
The Officer acts

They assess, keep a secure record, and refer the matter to the authorities where needed.

If a child is in immediate danger, contact the SAPS on 10111 or Childline South Africa on 116 first, then tell the Safeguarding Officer.
Where it fits. Our approach aligns with the SAFA National Safeguarding Policy and the SASCOC safeguarding policy for all sport, and follows the duty of care clubs owe to children, the Children's Act 38 of 2005 and the National Child Protection Register, the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007, and the Protection from Harassment Act 17 of 2011. As a SAFA affiliate the association is required to have its own safeguarding policy, which it is now putting in place. If a child is in immediate danger, contact the SAPS on 10111 or Childline South Africa on 116.
Need to report a safeguarding concern? Speak to your club's Safeguarding Officer, or report it to the association. If a child is in immediate danger, call SAPS 10111 or Childline 116 first.

Affiliation is decided once a year, by the members. New clubs are admitted at the Annual General Meeting, held in November. The members vote on each application. The Management Committee considers applications first, but it is the AGM that admits a club (Constitution Articles 4.1 and 6.2).

Who can apply

Full membership

Open to a club made up of at least two senior and two junior teams. Full members have a vote and take part in the league and cup programme (Article 4.1.4).

Associate club

For clubs that do not yet meet the two-senior, two-junior test: youth only, seniors only, ladies only, or a mix. If the club later grows to two-plus-two, it applies afresh for full membership (Article 4.5).

Organisations

Bodies that provide football but do not match the definition of a club may affiliate as organisations, and fall under the association's articles, rules and disciplinary code (Article 4.2.2).

How affiliation works

1
Apply in writing, at least 45 days before the AGM

Your written application must reach the association no later than forty-five days before the Annual General Meeting, and must include your club's own constitution (Articles 4.1.1 and 4.1.2).

2
The Management Committee considers it

Applications are considered by the Management Committee ahead of the AGM. The committee prepares the matter for the members to decide.

3
The members vote at the AGM

The Annual General Meeting, held in November, admits new clubs. Admission is a decision of the members, not of the committee alone (Articles 4.1.5 and 6.2).

4
Complete the form and pay the fees

On admission, complete the affiliation form and settle the entrance, affiliation and administration fees to activate membership for the season (Article 4.2.3.1).

5
One-year probation

New members serve a one-year probationary period. Their first season is assessed at the following AGM before full membership is granted (Article 4.1.7).

2026 Season

Fees & How to Join

What it costs to affiliate, enter teams and register players for the season — and the steps your club follows with the association office.

There is no online sign-up on this website. Affiliation, team entries and player registrations are handled by the association office each season, through your club — not through this site. This page sets out the fees and the steps so your club knows what to prepare; to start, speak to the office.

How registration works

1
Affiliate your club

Confirm affiliation for the season and settle the annual affiliation and administration fees with the office.

2
Enter your teams

Submit team entries per division through the association office by the entry cut-off: 28 February for senior teams and 15 April for junior teams (Rules & Regulations 3.20). An additional-team fee applies for each team entered.

3
Register your players

Register every player with SAFA Cape Town through your club and obtain a SAFA (CT) registration card, valid two years.

4
Card before the deadline

A player is only eligible once correctly registered and carded before the cut-off. Fielding an unregistered player can trigger a protest and a points deduction.

Where we sit in the game

Cape Town Tygerberg is a Local Football Association: the grassroots tier of organised football. We are affiliated upward through SAFA Cape Town, our regional mother body, to SAFA, CAF and FIFA. That places our competitions, player registrations and referee standards inside the official South African and world football framework.

The hard work behind the game

Behind a league of fifty clubs and hundreds of teams sits a great deal of quiet, unglamorous work: processing player registrations and SAFA cards, drawing up and updating fixtures, handling team entries and fees, answering clubs and parents, preparing match-day paperwork, and keeping the association's records straight. It is done by a small team who care about the game, and it is the reason the football happens at all.

How the three documents fit together

The powers & the ceiling

Constitution

Creates the Association, its structures and powers. Houses the Dispute Resolution Committee and the arbitration route, and sets the fee and fine schedules. Where our documents are silent, SAFA Cape Town and SAFA National apply.

How you lodge things

Rules & Regulations

The club's day-to-day manual for competitions. It sets out protests, complaints and appeals — who may lodge, the prescribed forms, the deadlines and the fees.

Offences & hearings

Disciplinary Code

Defines misconduct offences and sanctions, establishes the Disciplinary Committee and Appeal Committee, and governs how hearings are run and disciplinary appeals decided.

In short: the Constitution governs powers, structures and disputes; the Rules & Regulations govern protests, complaints and appeals; the Disciplinary Code governs offences, hearings and sanctions.

Deadlines are strict and run from the match or the decision. A protest, complaint or appeal without its fee and proof of payment inside the deadline is not entertained.

Step-by-step for clubs

Lodge a protest
  1. On the day — your captain or a listed team official records the protest with the referee before or during the match, and it is noted and signed on both team returns.
  2. Within 4 days of the match — submit a written intention to protest on the prescribed form, signed by a club executive, with the R700 fee and proof of payment (showing club, team, opponent and date). No fee in time, no protest.
  3. Within the next 2 days — submit your full written grounds with supporting statements, documents and evidence.
  4. Attend the hearing — both clubs are asked to be present at the Disciplinary Committee, which decides the protest on its merits.
  5. Not satisfied? Proceed to an appeal within 7 days.
Lodge a complaint
  1. Within 4 days of the incident — lodge a written intention to complain on the prescribed form, signed by a club executive, with the R700 fee. Not against a referee's playing decision unless you allege corruption.
  2. Within the next 2 days — submit the full written complaint with all the facts and the exact rule or article you say was breached.
  3. The Disciplinary Committee decides — outcomes can include a points forfeiture.
  4. Escalate via an appeal if needed.
Respond to a disciplinary charge
  1. Note any automatic suspension — a red card carries an automatic next-match suspension.
  2. Ask for particulars — you may request full particulars of the charge before the hearing, and you are entitled to at least 72 hours' written notice of it.
  3. Prepare — gather evidence and witnesses; you may arrange legal representation, and a minor must be assisted by a parent or guardian.
  4. Confirm attendance — if you cannot attend, tell the Association at least 24 hours before with your reasons, or the hearing may proceed without you.
  5. After the decision — if only the terms are given, you have 10 days to request the written grounds. Pay any fine promptly — a suspension runs until it is paid.
Lodge an appeal
  1. Check it can be appealed — warnings, reprimands, suspensions of three or more matches, and small fines cannot be appealed.
  2. Within 7 days of the decision — send a written notice of intention to appeal to the Appeal Committee, stating whether you appeal the verdict, the sentence, or both, and pay the R1 000 deposit before the deadline.
  3. Within a further 5 days — submit your written grounds: an inaccurate view of the facts and/or a wrong application of the law.
  4. The appeal is heard within 21 days — the Appeal Committee decides the matter on the verdict, the sentence, or both.
  5. Still aggrieved? You may escalate to SAFA Cape Town (R5 000) — but first send a copy of your notice and reasons to the association office (General Secretary).
Where to submit. Protests, complaints and appeals are lodged in writing with the association, addressed to the General Secretary, with the fee and proof of payment.

Our story

The Cape Town Tygerberg Local Football Association was established in 1993 to organise and grow amateur football in the Tygerberg region. Today its member clubs stretch right across Cape Town, from the northern suburbs to the Atlantic seaboard, the southern peninsula and out to the eastern suburbs. As a Local Football Association affiliated to SAFA Cape Town, and through it to the South African Football Association, the association runs league and cup competitions from the Premier Division down, across senior, reserve, veterans, women's and youth football.

Three decades on, the association is home to dozens of affiliated clubs and hundreds of teams, run by a democratically elected Management Committee and a body of volunteers, coaches and match officials. The heritage of the game in Tygerberg lives in its clubs, many of which have served their communities for generations.

Association honours

2025 was a landmark year for the association, recognised twice by our regional mother body, SAFA Cape Town.

SAFA Cape Town LFA of the Year trophy 2025
SAFA Cape Town · 2025

LFA of the Year 2025

Cape Town Tygerberg was named Local Football Association of the Year by SAFA Cape Town for 2025. The award recognises the association’s organisation, the quality of its competitions and the service it gives to clubs, players and officials across the region. It is the standout honour in a strong year for Tygerberg football.

SAFA Cape Town Presidential Award 2025
SAFA Cape Town · 2025

SAFA Cape Town Presidential Award 2025

The association also received the SAFA Cape Town Presidential Award for 2025, presented by SAFA Cape Town President Bennett Bailey. It recognises Cape Town Tygerberg’s hard work, commitment and contribution to football within SAFA Cape Town, and its part in building a strong foundation for the game.

Leadership through the years

Leading Cape Town Tygerberg is a significant honour and a real responsibility. Since the association was founded in 1993, only a handful of people have carried it, giving their time, judgement and care to keep the football organised, fair and growing, season after season. The role was titled Chairman in the earlier years and became the Presidency more recently, held by Donovan Neilson since 2021. We record them here with gratitude for their service to the game and to the association.

Life Members

Life Membership is the highest honour the association bestows. It is given to the men and women who have given years, in most cases decades, to Tygerberg football: running clubs, serving on committees, officiating, coaching and volunteering, quietly holding the game together weekend after weekend. Their service reaches well beyond the association, into the clubs, schools and communities they have carried along the way. We record their names here with gratitude and respect.

Years established

Fifty member clubs field more than 800 teams every season, from Under-7 mini football all the way to over-50 veterans, which is several thousand registered players. Then add the people around every one of them: parents and families on the touchline, club coaches, managers and administrators, match officials, and supporters across the Tygerberg region every weekend. For a sponsor that is a committed, local audience in the tens of thousands, reached in person on match days and online through the site that clubs and families check for fixtures, results and logs.

Community sponsorship also carries real reputational value. You are visibly investing in youth development, health and social cohesion in communities right across Cape Town, and being seen to do it.

Ways to partner

Whatever your brand and budget, there is a way in. We welcome any organisation that wants real exposure to a large, loyal local audience, and we tailor every arrangement to fit.

League & competition naming

Put your name to a division, a cup, a finals day or the mini-football programme. The most prominent way to associate your brand with the football, season after season.

Kit & equipment

Back playing kit, match balls, training gear or medical kit. Your brand travels to every ground, every match day, on the players themselves.

Website & digital

Sponsor the site that clubs, players and families open every week for fixtures, results and logs, our most-visited space in season, with your brand alongside.

Club & team backing

Support a specific club or team in a community you care about. Local visibility where it matters most, with recognition in that club's communications.

Match-day & finals

Your brand at the finals and events that draw the biggest crowds of the season, in person and in the coverage that follows.

Youth & development

Invest directly in mini and junior football and be seen backing the next generation. Strong reputational value and a genuine community good.
