11v11

The Traditional game

Where it all started and how we're sustaining it in Hampshire

We have devised a strategy working directly with you, our members to combat the decline of the traditional 11v11 game #PlayOn

Hampshire FA’s #PlayOn strategy focuses specifically on the 11v11 traditional game, aiming to connect players with clubs and clubs with players to combat the growing decline of the 11-a-side game. #PlayOn in a nutshell is an initiative to get YOU into football. Players and Clubs can use the site to register their interest and advertise to each other, putting you in touch with your perfect football match! For more information, please click here.

Hampshire FA is proud to boast 765 male and 60 female adult teams. There are also various ways in which Hampshire FA supports getting players into clubs through initiatives like #PlayOn, our Find a Club tool, Player Noticeboard messages and additionally all clubs in Hampshire have been provided with readily-prepared social media adverts, allowing clubs to fill in the adverts with all the details required and to advertise to potential players by using the power of social media.

How much does it cost?

The cost of playing football at a local level will vary depending on the club and the team. Some clubs charge at the start of the season whereas others may charge a weekly fee.

The best thing you can do is get in touch with your local club and ask them about the cost of getting involved.

I am looking to start a team, how can I do this?

We have our very own section on our website that will assist you with the information you need to set up your own team, see Setting up a club

What is the time commitment?

The level of commitment varies between individual teams; most local clubs playing 11v11 regularly train one evening a week and will then have a match on most weekends during the season (between September and May). This also dependent on leagues as some leagues require further travel between teams than others. To see the current league fixtures search for a local league on The FA Full Time website.
