Most people who join EmPowerBall haven’t played football since school — and a lot of them arrive on their own, nervous, wondering if they’ll be the least fit person there. They won’t be, because everyone else felt exactly the same on week one.
We’ll put you in a team before you arrive, so you’re never standing on the touchline hoping to get picked. Play at whatever pace suits you. Nobody is timing you, and nobody is judging you.
Sign up on your own and we’ll place you in a team before your first game. No organising mates, no waiting for a group chat to agree on a night, no awkward arrival.
Teams can earn up to three bonus goals a week for looking after each other on and off the pitch. It’s the only league we know of where checking in on a teammate can win you the game.
Qualified referees, real league tables and a full season structure. It’s competitive enough to matter and relaxed enough that nobody minds if you’re rusty.
A fixed slot in the diary, the same faces every week and a reason to leave the house when you least feel like it. That regularity is what makes the difference - not the football.
Arrive, sign in with your league facilitator and find your team. Five minutes before kick-off is all you need.
A full game with a qualified referee. Injured or not up to playing? Come anyway — supporting from the sideline still counts towards your team’s sportsmanship goals.
An hour of real exercise that doesn’t feel like exercise, because you’re too busy playing to notice.
League tables matter, but they’re not the point. Whether your team tops the table or props it up, you’ve moved, you’ve laughed and you’ve spent an hour with people who are glad you came.
Rolling monthly. Cancel any time.

Not at all. People join on their own and we place you in a team of likeminded players.
