Welcome to the West Lothian Soccer Development Association Web Site, here you will find useful information about the associations role in Grassroots football within West Lothian, Scotland. First introduced in 1993 the WLSDA actively develops Grassroots football in West Lothian Scotland for children aged 12 and below.
Soccer Sevens is a modified version of Football played on a smaller football park with modified goalposts and straightforward rules. This principle aids the development of children to gain skills through activity while having fun. Our Trophy Free leagues provide regular organised games of football for all children 7's, 8's, 9's, 10's, 11's and 12's.The recent introduction of Soccer 5s has added to our existing Soccer 4s Set up.
We are an Volunteer Association composed of Coaches and Referees who work closely together to provide a safe and fun environment for children to develop in. The WLSDA liaise with West Lothian Council, The Scottish Youth Football Association, The Scottish Football Association and other interested parties to help us maintain this environment.

WLYF are holding an open trial for Boys Development Pod on Friday 2nd September from 4pm to 6pm on field turf behind Livingston FC.
This is open tp aspiring young players who would like to learn the game. These elite training squads will participate in skills training and improve on technical excellence.
WLYF recognize the excellent work that is carried out at local boys clubs and see the development pod as additional training to compliment the development of the players involved.
Until May 2017 the development pod will be open for players born in 2005 and 2006 only.
Sessions will take place every Friday afternoon.
WLYF would love to be able to take as many players as possible however, with the space they have, it would be impossible, hence the reason for a trial.
WLYF are asking teams to nominate a MAXIMUM OF 4 PLAYERS PER CLUB to come along to the trial.
There would be a minimal fee of £10 per month.
On the trial day, the players will take part in a number of drills and small sided games, they will then take part in 7 a side matches. Players will be monitored by WLYF coaches on the day.
All participants will receive an email to let them know if they have been successful or not, players club representative will also be notified.
