Northampton Terrible Football
Details
Terrible Football is a friendly, welcoming kickabout in Northampton for people looking to play football for exercise and fun, without taking it too seriously. All genders, ages and ability welcome - even if you've never kicked a ball before, we'd love to have you!
PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP!
House rules, so you can get a vibe for what we're about:
- Be inclusive, be positive and keep it fun. We won't tolerate abuse or aggression towards other players - plenty of other places to play if that's what you're about, and we will ask you to go to those instead.
- We don't play offsides, we don't call accidental handballs, and as long as your throw-in is overhead it'll be fine.
- Absolutely no slide tackles - no one is here to get injured.
- Rotate keepers every 10 minutes unless someone is set on staying in!
The game is one 90 minute match with a brief half-time, maxing out at 11 v 11. Don't worry if that length of time sounds daunting - play at the intensity you can manage and you'll be up to match fitness in no time!
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 will provide bibs, so feel free to wear whatever you wish!
