I am going by car. Are there parking facilities?
Yes, there are. You can either park at the leisure centre or at the pitches. Parking is free of charge on Sunday nights.
Is it the West Way?
No, but it is very close to the West Way. It is the Kensington Leisure Centre, you will have to go back towards Latimer Road station and then turn left before the station on Silchester Road.
I am at the centre but where are the pitches?
The pitches are behind the centre, you have to walk around on the left side of the building.
THE BEAUTYFUL GAME ITSELF
The rules of game you can find here
How long do the games last?
Games last 1 hour long but must finish on the hour with no half time or break.
How many players in a team?
The number of players you can enter is unlimited, but obviously only five of them can be on the pitch at the same time.
What about the standard of players?
About the standard of players I would say better than average with two quite strong teams already having entered the league. However, there are going to be some less talented but enthusiast teams such as mine:)
Do we have to wear proper team kits?
The best if you have your own as some of the teams do, but if you agree with your teammates to wear for instance red, that will also do. We can always put the colour of your teams kit on the website just to make sure that the opposition team won't turn up in the same colour. To avoid this problem we are going to bring some training T-shirts anyway.
Do we have to bring our own balls along for the games?
Yes please, you are advised to do so as we do not provide balls. We used to but we had some problems getting them back after games.
