Playing Matches

If your team is entered into a league (and nearly all are) then you will play matches.

Matches start for U7s as friendly 5 a side games that generally last around 20 minutes and happen every few weeks, interspersed with training weeks in between and go all the way up to U18, where you are playing a full 90 minute match every week. This section gives you more information on the following topics, using the Crowborough League as the basis for the majority of the information as that's where most of our younger teams play.

Some information you may find useful with regard to matches, match days and how it all works...

• Your fixture schedule
• Before the match
• Referees
• Match day setup (including details you'll need for our various home grounds)
• After a match
• Postponements and cancellations
• FA Full Time
• Age group formats

Different leagues have slightly different policies, so the information here is meant as a guide. Please refer to your league handbook for specific information and familiarise yourself with the policies the league has so as to avoid fines or loss of points.
