Small-sided football is identified in the National Game Strategy as one of The FA’s key growth targets for adult football. The popularity of this format of football is a reaction to changing work and leisure patterns and a move towards ‘pay and play’ football. 

The laws of small-sided football have been revised for the benefit of players and referees. The FA encourages all small-sided football centres to adopt these uniform laws. 

So whether you want a great way of getting an ‘after work’ run-out with your mates, or you like the idea of playing fast and competitive midweek football...the Small Sided game is perfect choice for you! 

Across Cumberland there are a number of providers offering various formats throughout the week and over the weekends.
