There are two types of Just Play session... Kickabout and Learn to Play.

Kickabout is a fun, casual and social way for players of all abilities, fitness and experience levels to turn up and just play!
Those running the sessions can choose how they do it - small sided, walking football and futsal formats are all options. They can also choose who their sessions are for - inclusive sessions for all genders to play together, male sessions, female sessions, or disability specific sessions – ensuring everyone is included.
If you're passionate about creating positive experiences for people in your community, you could become a Just Play Provider.

Learn to Play is for female and disabled people aged 16+ who are newcomers to football, and those who prefer a less competitive experience, providing coach-led sessions incorporating a game and skills coaching for passing, shooting, turning and dribbling... all in a safe, supportive space.

Kit, Equipment and Resources

Once you’re qualified, you’ll receive a complete set of Just Play Session Cards, providing clear step-by-step guidance and practical tips for delivering warm-ups, games, activities, and cool-downs. You’ll also gain access to disability-specific resources designed to help you run your sessions confidently and effectively. In addition, you’ll receive a voucher to redeem a Just Play equipment package, which includes cones, bibs, footballs, a first aid kit, bag, a banner, and a Just Play branded kit for you to wear. We also supply disability-specific equipment to further support your sessions.
