About One Community Junior League
Building Tomorrow's Football Stars Today
The One Community Junior League is Zimbabwe's premier primary school football competition, founded to develop young talent while fostering community spirit through the beautiful game. Launched in Norton with eight pioneering primary schools, we're creating pathways for Zimbabwe's future football stars.
Our Mission

Our core objectives:
- Develop football skills and talent from grassroots level
- Promote education through sport participation
- Foster community pride and engagement
- Create pathways to higher levels of competition
- Build character through fair play and teamwork

Development Pathways
The One Community Junior League serves as the foundation for Zimbabwe's football future. We're creating clear pathways for talented players to progress to secondary school competition, club football, and eventually national team representation.
Our coaching development programs ensure young players receive quality instruction, while our partnership network provides opportunities for the most promising talents to access advanced training and competition.
Community Impact
Football has the unique power to bring communities together. Our league creates opportunities for families to gather, schools to build pride, and young people to develop lasting friendships across traditional boundaries.
Every match is a community event, bringing together parents, teachers, and local supporters to celebrate youth achievement and sporting excellence. We're not just playing football – we're strengthening the social fabric of our communities.
National Vision
What begins in Norton won't end in Norton. The One Community Junior League is designed for national expansion, with plans to establish regional competitions across Zimbabwe's provinces. Our systematic approach to growth ensures quality is maintained while opportunities multiply.
We envision a future where every primary school in Zimbabwe has access to quality football competition, creating a national network of young talent development that feeds into all levels of Zimbabwean football.
