🎬👏 And that's a wrap on our 2026 Grassroots Awards Winners!

Across Lincolnshire, we’re incredibly lucky to have thousands of people who give their time, passion and energy to grassroots football, helping make the game what it is.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve celebrated our 12 Grassroots Awards winners, but they’re just some of the many people across the county who go above and beyond for football.

Today, we’re pleased to recognise our Highly Commended nominees, whose contribution to the game deserves to be celebrated too. 💚⚽️

To every winner, Highly Commended nominee and everyone who was nominated, thank you.

Grassroots football in our county is stronger because of you. 👏

🏆 A new partnership for the next generation of footballers…

🤝 We’re delighted to announce that Wright Vigar has joined Lincolnshire FA as a Silver Partner and headline sponsor of the Under-14 Boys Cup for the 2026/27 season.

⚽ The Under-14 Boys Cup gives young players from across Lincolnshire the opportunity to compete in county cup football, represent their clubs and test themselves against teams from across the county.

🌟 From the opening rounds through to the final, the competition provides players with the chance to gain valuable experience, create memories and enjoy some of the special moments that make grassroots football so important.

🙌 And it’s not just about the players. The competition brings together coaches, volunteers, parents and supporters, all playing their part in creating opportunities for young people through football.

We’re proud to welcome Wright Vigar as our headline sponsor and look forward to celebrating the clubs, players and people at the heart of the Under-14 Boys Cup throughout the 2026/27 season.

👑⚽ More opportunities for women and girls to get involved in football.

Brilliant to see Broughton Ravers JFC expanding their provision with the launch of Monday Queens, a new women’s football session for anyone aged 18+.

Whether you're completely new to football or returning to the game, the sessions provide a welcoming and accessible way to get active, meet new people and enjoy football. 💛

👏 And this is exactly the kind of provision we want to see more of across Lincolnshire.

Could your club introduce a female team or session? Starting with just one female team can be the first step towards achieving 1★, 2★ or 3★ England Football Accreditation and creating more opportunities for women and girls within your club.

A huge well done to everyone at Broughton Ravers for taking that step. 🙌

⚽ Better coaches. Better players. Better football.

What happens when coaches keep learning?

They ask better questions.
They find new ways to help players develop.
They create better environments to learn, enjoy and perform.

And ultimately, the football gets better.

That’s why Lincolnshire FA, in partnership with Lincoln City Football Club, is investing in coach development through the Lincoln City Grassroots Coaches Club.

Five opportunities. Five different topics. One shared goal: helping coaches across Lincolnshire become better at what they do.

From conditioned games and coaching adaptation to goalkeeping and insight from the Championship game, the 2026/27 programme is designed to give coaches ideas they can take straight back to their clubs and players.

And with sessions just £10, professional insight is accessible to coaches at every level.

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or continuing your learning after last season, there’s always another way to get better.
