About the club

We provide the platform. You provide the skills.

Plymouth Kickabouts is the community football programme of Everyone Plays CIC, a Community Interest Company registered in Plymouth.

No trials. No squad politics. No cliques. Teams are picked in advance by the session lead. 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9-a-side, depending on numbers. The session runs no matter how few are booked in. Bibs on, ball down, 60 minutes of proper football.

Football is how we get out of our heads. Sessions are designed to welcome anyone struggling with anxiety, low mood, or isolation, alongside anyone who just wants a kickabout. No questions, no labels, just a game.

All abilities. 16 and over on Thursdays. 18 and over on Mondays. Mixed teams. Beginners welcome. No contract. Drop-in.

The bigger picture

Part of something bigger.

Plymouth Kickabouts is the football arm of Everyone Plays CIC.

A Plymouth-based community interest company making grassroots sport more inclusive, more affordable, and more welcoming for everyone. Football is just where we're starting.

We tackle fitness, health, and social isolation, and build a platform for everyone, including people with hidden disabilities, to access sport. Our signposting network supports anyone struggling with their mental health through depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, or trauma, who wants better access to opportunities that boost their physical and mental health.

How to join

Five steps to your first game.

Step 01

Register

Fill in our two-minute registration form. Name, emergency contact, any medical info we need to know. All players must be registered before booking a session. Under-18s require guardian consent before registration is active.

Step 02

Book your spot

Select a session and pay to reserve your place. Priority Members get first access when each session ends. Public booking opens 48 hours later.

Step 03

Show up

Stoke Damerel Community College, PL3. Ten minutes early. Studded or moulded boots only. No trainers, no astro boots. Shin pads strongly recommended for adults, mandatory for under-18s. Wear what you are comfortable in. Shorts, leggings, long sleeves all fine. Water bottle. We bring the first aid kit.

Step 04

Play

Teams picked in advance by the session lead. 60 minutes of proper football. Mixed sides, all abilities.

Step 05

Come back

Book in when you can, skip when you can't. Tell a mate. They will need to register and book in too.

Here for you

Talk to us. In confidence.

Football is why we are here. But if something else is getting in the way of you showing up, tell us. We would rather know.

Health and mental health

If you are struggling with a health condition, injury, hidden disability, or your mental health, reach out to any of our volunteers or coaches. Whatever you share stays confidential, and, if it helps, we'll point you towards trusted local and national support services. You do not have to play through anything alone.

If it is a safeguarding concern, please contact our designated safeguarding lead directly. In an emergency (safeguarding or otherwise), call the emergency services first.

Financial hardship

£5 a session should never be the reason anyone stops playing. If money is tight, tell us quietly and we'll work something out: a subsidised place, a free session, or a pause until you're back on your feet. No forms, no means-testing, no fuss.

If you need to step away for any reason, just let us know. A quick message is all it takes. We won't chase or pressure you to play, but if we don't hear from you we'll probably worry, so a line either way keeps us at ease.

[email protected]

In an emergency or if someone's life is in immediate danger, call 999. For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and select the mental health option, or text SHOUT to 85258. Samaritans: 116 123, free, 24/7.

What we bring

You play. We sort the rest.

Match-quality footballs

Properly inflated, properly sized. The same kind you'd expect to play with on a Saturday morning.

Clean bibs

Two colours, washed every week. No more standing around guessing which side you're on.

Goalkeeper gloves

Take a turn in goal if you fancy it. We've got gloves so your hands don't get shredded by the 3G.

First aid kit

A proper kit on the sideline every session, run by someone with current first-aid training.

Balanced teams

Sides are picked in advance by the session lead so games feel even every week. No captains, no last-pick energy.
