The Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) is the governing body for the junior grade of
football in
Scotland. This grade of football is commonly mistaken for a level at which boys' football is played, but the term "junior" refers not to the age of the players but the level of football played. Football for youngsters is generally known as "youth" (up to Under-19) or "juvenile" (which is to Under-21 level) football. The closest equivalent to the "junior" terminology would be the
non-league football in
England, the difference being that junior Scottish football is not integrated in the Scottish league pyramid.
