Adult leagues

Here is a quick rundown of how our leagues work:

• Seasons will run between 8-14 weeks depending on the number of teams in your league. Once a season finishes, the season starts the following week. Your team will automatically be entered into the next season unless you inform us of your team’s departure.
• All our matches are 36 minutes long. Matches are split into 2x18minute halves, with teams being given a two minute break between each half.
• Matches will always take place on the same night at the same venue. There may be times where the regular venue is temporarily unavailable and we have to relocate but we will notify all teams in advance.
• You don’t need to provide an referee. Unlike other football leagues where it is the teams responsibility to provide an referee, Play 5-A-Side has you covered.
• All our leagues have a league coordinator who attends matches every week. They are your point of contact on the night, so if any problems occur, please speak to the coordinator as it is their duty to make sure you have a fun night of football.
• Most of our leagues have multiple divisions so you have the advantage of playing with other teams of similar ability. Our multiple divisions also give teams the opportunity to move up and down each season.
• We understand not everyone can make matches each week, so teams are able to help out other teams when needed. This is to help prevent team forfeits and keep everyone playing as much football as possible. If your team needs subs one week, just leave a message on your league Facebook group to see who is available to help you out.
• Season fees for our leagues are to be paid weekly and is done via our online payment system. Teams have the option of splitting their season fee amongst each other so payment is not left to one individual.
