Football and Berks & Bucks have a long and proud history together so, as you would expect from a city that is so passionate about the game, there are no shortage of different forms of football for you to get involved in. From the small-sided game, such as mini Soccer for young children taking their first steps in the game to Futsal and of course the hugely popular five-a-side, to the more traditional eleven-a-side game.

However you choose to enjoy playing football, there are over 700 clubs which contain over 3400 teams that make up the membership of Berks & Bucks FA, each of whom are involved in regular league football. In addition, you can also find out how to get involved in football on a more casual basis through our partnership through the FA and Mars ‘Just Play’ scheme and through several recognised small sided football centre’s across the city. Berks & Bucks FA are committed to providing opportunities to play the game we all love in every community.

It’s never too late to start playing football check out the Find a Club locator opposite, and contact a club near you. If you would like some more advice contact the Football Development Team at our offices.
