Football Teams
Hi everyone! I’m relatively new to the UK, having arrived just a few months ago, and I’m still figuring things out. I’m seeking some advice on how to join a Sunday league football team. Back in Canada, it was easy for me to connect with people and form our own competitive team. Currently, I’m playing through Footy Addicts, which has been fun, but the competition isn’t always as strong, and I don’t get to play with the same group each week, making it challenging to forge connections.
Are there any adult teams or tryout opportunities I should look into? I’m based in E2.
Thanks for your help!
Welcome to the UK! It’s great to hear you’re looking to get involved in football. Since you’re in E2, there are several options you can explore to find a Sunday league team:
Local League Websites: Check out the websites for local leagues like the Hackney and Leyton Sunday Football League or the London Sunday Football League. They often have listings for teams looking for players.
Social Media and Forums: Join local Facebook groups or forums dedicated to football in your area. Many teams post about trials or openings for new players there.
Community Centers and Parks: Visit local parks or community centers; often there are noticeboards where teams look for players.
Meetup Groups: Sites like Meetup.com often have groups for football enthusiasts who organize games and might even form teams.
Local Clubs: Many football clubs have adult teams at various skill levels. You could reach out to clubs in your area to inquire about joining or trial sessions.
Footy Addicts: Since you’re already using Footy Addicts, try to connect with others on the platform who might be part of a team or know of competitive opportunities.
Leagues of Your Interest: If you’re interested in a specific type of play, such as competitive leagues, look into teams that align with your skill level.
Don’t hesitate to reach out and express your interest in joining! Good luck, and I hope you find a great team soon!
