Footballers of all abilities are being encouraged to lace up their boots and get involved as a popular local 6-a-side league launches a new free trial offer for teams.

Soccersixes, the UK’s leading provider of 6-a-side football, is giving new teams the chance to try out league football at no cost, making the competition more accessible to the wider community.

The FA-affiliated league runs every Thursday evening on the 3G pitch at Tarka Leisure Centre. Matches are officiated by qualified referees, last 40 minutes and see each team play once per week. Weekly costs start from just £4.50 per player.

League fixtures and tables are published online and updated weekly, allowing teams to track their progress throughout the season.

League manager Tom Stringer said the competition has become a valued community event. “We are proud to provide a successful weekly sports event in the area and to help increase participation in football. Over the years the league has continued to grow in popularity, with players returning week after week,” he said.

The league is open to anyone aged 16 and over, with teams of all standards welcome. It has also been praised for offering a safe, friendly and well-organised environment where people can meet, socialise and enjoy regular sport.
