The group meets once a week including school holidays throughout the year Thursdays 9-00 am to 10-30 am at Hart Leisure Centre where shower facilities and first aid cover are provided. During October to March play is mainly indoors in the sports hall. Weather permitting however, an outdoor group in a 5 a side cage may also be used. From April to September play is outdoors using a mini pitch on the main artificial grass 3D pitch. Appropriate sporting footwear should be worn according to playing surface. and shin pads are also advised.
A number of adapted rules to normal 11 a side are used to maximise actual play time and to create a safe environment. For example, a three touch only rule applies and there is no heading of the ball and causing contact with an opponent is likely to be penalised. The main aims are to provide enjoyable structured fun activity, geared to accommodate individual skill levels and which is not overly competitive. Elements include stretching out/ warming up, skills development and plenty of short 5/6/7 a side games. Some mini internal tournaments and leagues may also be included. Members may also help out with officiating. All abilities are welcomed and socialising is encouraged in the Leisure Centre cafe afterwards as well as other outside social events during the year.
If you are not sure of your fitness to take part due to medical conditions it is suggested you first check with your GP.
