Terrible Football

Please read the whole description before signing up.

TF Clapham is a friendly environment of people looking to play casual, free football. We welcome all genders, ages(over 18), skill levels etc.. It doesn't matter if you are semi-pro or have never played a day in your life, everyone is welcome.

PLEASE READ:

Terrible football always has a wait list for Clapham. We have a lot of regulars who have been enjoying our group for years.

If you sign up and can not make it, you must drop out by midnight Friday. If you drop out later you will be taken off any games you sign up to play the next week. If you cannot make it but are on the waitlistist, please drop out before midnight aswell. If you are put through to play and dont show up, the same rule applies.

We are strict on these rules as we like the games as even as possible, plus someone else could have made it off the wait list!

You have to join the whatsapp group for the exact location. We play between the skate park and band stand.

Set up: Clapham is set us as two pitches, each with a 10 aside game. We make 4 teams of 10(as evenly as possible skills wise) and play three 30 minute games. Each team will face one another by the end.

GAME RULES:

1. Rotate keeper every 10 minutes. Everyone must go in

2. No slide tackles. 1 warning only. This is due to it being casual and varied in skill level.

3. Be inclusive. Pass to everyone and be positive. Anyone who says anything rude to another player will be warned once and then asked to leave.

We recommend you wear plastic studs(metal are not allowed) or AstroTurf boots. Shin pads are optional but most people don't wear them. We have colour bibs so please wear what you want in those regards.

Hey Terrible Footballers!

We play in Hyde Park, close Speaker's Corner. See the map above or follow the below whatsapp link. Leave a message and someone will respond on Saturday night. Sometimes we have openings as late as that and this is when final list is finalised.So feel free to add your name to the waitlist.

Everyone is welcome! That means every skill level, gender, sexuality etc. Just gotta be over 18!

No one gets upset if we miss a pass.... or the ball altogether! Skills vary from old semi-pro players all the way to never kicked a ball. We weren’t fibbing when we said inclusive.

Please bring a BLACK and WHITE tshirt. Please aim to arrive at 10:15 (ideally 10:15am to help out in the setting up) as we want to kickoff at 10:30.

(If you arrive late after kick off, you may have to wait around half hour for the next half).

Please sign up early (during the week if possible), check the meetup page for the week and our Whatsapp group for any last minute changes.

The game will normally go ahead come rain or shine if we have the numbers.

Some important information:

• Age 18+

• Terrible Football meet-ups are extremely popular but unfortunately we have limited spaces. If you end up on the waiting list, please wait and see if a spot becomes available. We will have to check who has RSVP-ed if too many show up and will have to turn people away if they’re not on the list.

• Please show up on time! If you have RSVP-ed but don’t show up on time, we will have to give your spot to someone else! If you show up after we have started playing, and no one else has taken your spot, you might still be asked to sit the first half out in order to prevent confusion. There is nothing worse for organisers than people showing up late!

• As mentioned above, we don’t charge, however, if you are a regular, we do ask you to donate some money once or twice a year for the upkeep and new equipment.

For any questions, please contact one of the organisers.

See you there! TFC Team

Hey Terrible Footballers!

Welcome to Terrible Football Bethnal Green.

Location
Weavers Fields close to Bethnal Green/Whitechapel stations. We normally play close to the entrance at Mape Street, but do keep an eye on the WhatsApp group for any last minute updates (link below)

Bethnal Green Rules of play

· We kick-off around 1pm and ask everyone to be by then so we can make teams and such! Please be aware that places are limited so if you don't sign up you may not be able to play, and if you show up late and we have started, you will have to wait until the next game to join in. If you're late and we're full, we will have to turn you away.

· Everyone is welcome! That means every skill level, gender, sexuality etc. Just gotta be over 18!

· No one gets upset if we miss a pass.... or the ball altogether! Skills vary from old semi-pro players all the way to never kicked a ball. We weren’t fibbing when we said inclusive

· We aim to split in to at least 4 teams of 5-8 players, and to play 3-4 games of approx 20-30 minutes, with a drinks break between each game.

This is free, friendly and fun! Please encourage your teammates and enjoy the game!

Afterwards we usually go to the pub to watch some football, or if the weather allows it, sit in the park with a few beverages! Also, we always need help with looking after the equipment so would appreciate volunteers who can help with this.
