By participating in any of our football sessions, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before attending our games.

1. Eligibility

  • All participants must be aged 18 or over. By signing up or participating in a Football Friendlies event, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
  • Any player found to be under 18 years of age will be refused participation and will not be eligible for a refund.

2. Participation & Assumption of Risk

  • While Football Friendlies is a non-competitive, relaxed environment, football is a physical activity that carries inherent risks. By participating, you acknowledge that injuries may occur, including but not limited to falls, collisions, and accidents.
  • By attending and participating in any of our sessions, you agree to play at your own risk. Football Friendlies, its organizers, staff, and any affiliated venues will not be held responsible for any injuries, accidents, or losses sustained during games or while on the premises.

3. Health and Fitness

  • All participants are responsible for ensuring they are physically fit to play football. If you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to play, we advise that you consult a healthcare professional before participating.
  • Should you experience any discomfort, illness, or injury during the game, please remove yourself from play and inform the session organizer immediately.

4. Conduct

  • Football Friendlies promotes a friendly and inclusive environment. All players are expected to treat fellow participants with respect and fairness. Unsportsmanlike conduct, including aggressive or dangerous play, verbal abuse, or inappropriate behaviour, will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the session and future events.

5. Rolling Keepers and Game Format

  • In the event that a team requires a goalkeeper, we use a “rolling keeper” system, where players take turns in goal. This ensures all players remain engaged and have equal opportunities to participate.
  • Games are played at a slower, non-competitive pace. However, players should still exercise caution and play responsibly to ensure the safety of themselves and others.

6. Venues

  • All venues used by Football Friendlies are hired for the purpose of our sessions and do not belong to Football Friendlies. We are not responsible for the management, maintenance, or condition of the venues.
  • Any issues, complaints, or disputes related to the venue must be directed to the venue owner or management, not Football Friendlies.

7. Liability

  • Football Friendlies is not liable for any injury, loss, or damage sustained during our events or on the premises of the venues we use. Participants are responsible for their own personal health, safety, and well-being while playing.
  • Football Friendlies does not provide any form of insurance for players. You are encouraged to obtain your own personal injury insurance if you feel it is necessary.

8. Cancellations and Refunds

  • In the event of a session being cancelled due to weather conditions, venue issues, or other unforeseen circumstances, we will make every effort to inform participants as soon as possible. Where applicable, cancelled sessions will be rescheduled or refunded at the company’s discretion.
  • Players who cancel their attendance at a session with less than 24 hours’ notice may not be eligible for a refund or credit.
  • No refunds will be given to players who are found to be under 18 and are refused participation.

9. Data Protection and Privacy

  • Football Friendlies may collect personal data such as your name and contact details for the purpose of managing bookings, notifying participants of session updates, and providing customer service. We will not share or sell your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as required by law.

10. Changes to Terms and Conditions

  • Football Friendlies reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes will be communicated to participants, and continued participation in our sessions will be considered acceptance of any updates.

By attending a Football Friendlies session, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions.
