Saturday Morning Kickabout!

T47-court-1fwEvery Saturday we hold drop-in football sessions at London Bridge. It starts at 11 AM and we play for an hour.

The pitches are indoors at T47, London’s coolest new venue.  No need to bring a ball; no need to be a great player; just come along!  We’re expecting a lot of demand for this, so please book in advance if you want to be sure of a place.  Otherwise it will be first come, first served.

All you need is your trainers and shin pads. We’ll organise everyone into teams and away we go.  It’s a casual, social fun session where you can meet people, make friends and get into playing football.  Oh, and get fit …

There are men’s and women’s sessions with a ref for each, mainly to pick the teams and make sure everyone enjoys the game.  Remember: you don’t need to be any good.  That’s not what it’s about. Afterwards, why not see who wants to have lunch down at Borough Market or Bermondsey Street? Read the rest of this entry »

We wanted to offer a service that would compliment our league work, offering support and coaching to anyone who wanted it.
