Grassroots football

Beyond the affiliated clubs there'll be teams and leagues local to you, who welcome all kinds of characters to play and enjoy a game of football. Yes, there's a competitive element to it, but the common theme will be having fun,

Community football

Football clubs all over the country work with their local communities to introduce people to the game. Schemes in Wales and Northern Ireland continue to thrive.

• Five-a-side football is played on a smaller pitch, with more touches of the ball - and there are facilities all over the country.

• Futsal is similar to five-a-side, but played indoor with a smaller, heavier ball. It places greater emphasis on individual skill and ball control.

• Struggle to get the joints moving? Walking Football could be the answer. Check it out here.
