Project Description
The world’s most popular sport is played between two teams of eleven players using a spherical ball. It is normally played on a rectangular field of grass or synthetic surface but small sided and indoor versions exist such as 5-a-side and Futsal. Get Back Into Football offers the chance for you to rekindle your love of the beautiful game in a friendly, social and non-competitive environment with coaches on hand to help you improve your skills.
What to bring?

How much will I exert myself?
