Flexi-Football
Football on your terms
The FA Elevens programme offers a flexible route into 11 a-side football through non-weekend leagues.
The programme is designed to attract players who do not currently play “traditional” weekend football by providing them with the chance to play 11-aside football in flexible, evening leagues. The Elevens Leagues are perfect for groups of friends, workplaces and individuals who can’t commit to a “traditional” club/team but still want to play 11-a-side football.
The FA Elevens League was initially introduced with a pilot league based at Lees Brook School in 2015. The Friday night 11 v 11 league was hugely successful with a host of players signing up to play.
To make the league sustainable and to ensure that the programme is recognised, Derbyshire County FA work in partnership with Powerplay to deliver the league and take responsibility for the effective and successful delivery of the FA Elevens Programme within the county.
