Just Play

Recreational Football At Its Best. 

The FA Just Play 

"A recreational form of football providing access for adults to affordable, fun, organised kickabouts in suitable facilities with trained organisers in their local area."

The FA Just Play! gives the casual footballer a chance to just turn up to a venue and play football. The Just Play kickabout is recreational football at its best – it’s about turning up for an hour of exercise and a bit of fun. It’s football for those who can’t or don’t want to commit to an eight-month long season of matches and training.

FA Just Play! is purely for adults, for men, for women, for those who think they’re talented and for those who think they aren’t. It’s also for those with a disability, 16–25's, women only or even veterans; there’s a kickabout designed specifically for you, whatever your age or ability.
