Got a question about our drop-in sessions? Ask away — the community is here to help.
How many players do you typically get? Is there always availability for the team?
We play pickup soccer Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Typical turnout is 5-8 players per side. Everyone is welcome — just show up!
Do 11v11 matches ever happen?
10 vs 10 games happen occasionally when we get great turnout, but our standard format is 5-8 per side. Keeps the game fast and fun!
What time do the games start on weekdays at Kirkstone?
Games run from 12:30pm until at least 1:30pm. Players typically arrive around 12:15-12:20pm to warm up.
Any chance future games could accommodate different schedules?
The noon time slot has been established for over 3 decades — it works perfectly for lunch-hour players. We don’t plan to change it, but if someone wants to organize an evening session, they’re welcome to post here!
Can children aged 11-12 participate in the sessions?
Unfortunately, insurance requirements prevent younger participants from joining. We recommend checking out local youth leagues for that age group.
May stats: 156 total appearances across 14 games this month. Great turnout everyone!
Are there any evening weekday groups? I’m a 50-year-old returning player looking to get back into it.
We only run daytime sessions at the moment. If others are interested in evening games, feel free to coordinate here — happy to support the idea!
Can a 16-year-old join the sessions?
Do I need to pre-register or give advance notice before showing up for a drop-in session?
If you have any questions about our football / soccer group, don’t hesitate to reach out. We welcome players of all ages and abilities!
