Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a kickabout near me?

Sign up to GameOn Active to browse local football games across the UK. Choose a session that matches your schedule and level, join the game, and get back on the pitch.

What's the difference between 5-a-side, 7-a-side and 11-a-side?

5-a-side is the most popular for casual games - usually played on smaller pitches (often 3G/astro turf) with 5 players per team. 7-a-side is a bit bigger, and 11-a-side is full-size. Most casual games are 5-a-side or 7-a-side, perfect for a kickabout after work or on weekends.

How do I organise my own game?

Create and list your game free in GameOn Active. Add the date, time, location and format, then share your game link with friends and players. You can also share your GameOn profile to show past, current and upcoming games. A processing fee applies only when you take payments through the app.

Do I need to be good at football?

Not at all! Most games are mixed ability and welcoming to everyone. Whether you're just getting back into football, play regularly, or haven't kicked a ball in years - you'll find games suited to your level. Many organisers specify if it's beginner-friendly, intermediate, or competitive.

Where can I play football in the UK?

Most cities have 5-a-side facilities including Powerleague, Goals, and local leisure centres. Download the GameOn Active app to find games near you and connect with players who know the best spots in the UK. The app is live and listing venues now. Powerleague.co.uk, Goals.co.uk — major UK 5-a-side facility operators

How much does it cost to play?

Costs vary by venue and city. At dedicated 5-a-side facilities such as Powerleague and Goals, hourly pitch hire typically runs from £30 to £60 depending on location and time of day (check venue websites for current pricing). Organisers split this between players — usually around £3–£8 per person. Local authority and park pitches are often cheaper. The organiser will always confirm the cost before the session. Venue pricing: Powerleague.co.uk, Goals.co.uk (prices vary by location and time of day, 2024)

What should I bring to a game?

Bring football boots (or trainers if it's 3G/astro turf - check with the organiser), shin pads (highly recommended), water, and a change of clothes. The organiser usually provides the football, but it's worth checking.

Can I organise a regular weekly game?

Absolutely! Many organisers set up regular games - same time, same place each week. It's a great way to build a consistent group and get regular football in. Players can sign up for the whole series or drop in when they can.

What happens if a game gets cancelled?

Organisers will notify everyone via email if a game is cancelled - usually due to weather (for outdoor pitches) or if not enough players sign up. Always check your email before heading to a game, especially in winter months.

Are games mixed-gender?

It depends on the organiser. Some games are mixed, some are men-only, some are women-only. The organiser will specify when posting the game. We're seeing more mixed-gender casual games which is brilliant for the community.

Can I join if I'm new to the area?

Definitely! Football is a great way to meet people in a new city. Sign up to GameOn Active, browse games near you, and join a session that matches your schedule and level.

What's the vibe like at casual games?

Most games are friendly and social - it's about having a good kickabout, getting some exercise, and meeting people. Competitive but not too serious. Some games are more relaxed, some are a bit more competitive - the organiser will usually indicate the vibe.
