Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a kickabout near me?

Simply fill out the form with your email and city. We'll notify you when new games go live in your area. You can also browse games organised by other players in your city.

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?

When you join, let us know you're interested in organising. We'll connect you with other organisers and help you set up your game. You can post when and where, and players in your area will be notified. Most organisers split the pitch cost between players - usually around £3-£8 per person for 5-a-side.

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 Headingley, Leeds?

Most cities have Powerleague or Goals facilities for 5-a-side, plus local pitches and sports centres. When you join, you'll get access to our directory of venues and can connect with players who know the best spots in Headingley, Leeds.

How much does it cost to play?

Costs vary by venue and location. For 5-a-side at facilities like Powerleague or Goals, expect to pay around £30-£60 per hour for the pitch, which organisers typically split between players (usually £3-£8 per person). Some local pitches are cheaper. The organiser will let you know the cost when you sign up.

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. Many players join specifically to meet people and get involved in the local football scene. Just sign up and you'll be notified about games in your area.

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.
