The Liverpool Schools FA was founded in 1932 and has come to be regarded by many as the most successful schools association in England.

The Association is particularly proud of its unequalled record in the Under 15 English Schools Trophy, having won the title on fourteen occasions, the last time in 1997.

While the Boys Under 11 side can boast of having won the ESFA 7 a side trophy twice. The first was the inaugural event in 1994, and again in 2003.

In the history of the LSFA there are many examples of boys who have represented the city before advancing to play at a higher level. Most recently, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman have played for Liverpool FC and England. The Association has supplied 82 players who have been capped for the England Schools International team. In 2000 a new record was achieved when a school from the Association provided three international players. They were: John Welsh (Captain), Alan Moogan, Alan Schumacher, all attended Cardinal Heenan High School . For many years the LSFA had their home ground at " Penny Lane," a street that was made internationally famous by the Association many years before a song by the Beatles put its name permanently on the map.

However, the LSFA outgrew this celebrated venue and in September 1999, they moved to the new "City of Liverpool Soccer Centre." This modern sporting complex, built at the cost of, £ 2.6 million, fulfilled the needs of the LSFA at the start of the new millennium.

The Liverpool Schools FA caters for the children of the city by providing competitive football played in a safe environment and in the correct manner. The Association runs representative sides at Under 11, Under 14 and Under 15 age groups for both boys and girls.

In recent years a generous donation from local sponsors has helped the LSFA to reach their objectives. The Liverpool Echo has helped to make standards of schools football in the city the envy of the rest of the country.
