Local Kickabout is all about getting adults back into football and enjoying regular exercise. If you love a casual game, we’re the perfect fit for you. It’s simple, just join a session via our website and turn up at your local venue for a friendly kick about.

Everyone plays every week, no subs. Whether it’s 6, 7, or 8-a-side, each player gets a full hour on the pitch. It’s a great way to stay active and become part of a welcoming, like-minded community.

  • All are welcome at Local Kickabout (LK) so come down to your nearest venue and try your FREE taster session.
  • Payment after is £7.50 per session which covers venue hire, equipment and 2 LK reps. This is taken monthly as a £30 direct debit payment.

  • Arrive 5 – 10 mins before kick off, you can have a quick stretch and catch up with mates, then we can start on time.

  • Everyone plays, no substitutes. You get your full hours worth on the pitch.

  • Simply select attending on the Heija app to let them know you’ll be playing, this helps the LK reps decide on the night if it will be a 6, 7 or 8 a side game.

  • Teams are decided by the LK reps, we’ll just chuck you a bib on arrival. We’ll try to make games as even as possible.

  • Shin pads are optional, but the appropriate footwear for the pitch is required. Details will be provided in the WhatsApp session description.

  • All about keeping active and having a laugh. It’s not Sunday league, so don’t try to be a hard man. Slide tackling is a no-go and rough play won’t be accepted. We all have day jobs; while we want games to be competitive, we also want everyone to feel safe and come home injury-free.

I hadn’t played football in years, these sessions made it easy to get back into it. The atmosphere is welcoming and everyone is supportive. I’m having a blast getting fit and improving my skills again.
