OUR STORY

FFF welcomes players of all abilities and fitness. We encourage those with less experience and challenge those with more than their fair share with equal positivity and support. The majority of our players are aged from 30 to 50 but there are plenty outside that range too. We see this as a key factor in our success and our diverse demographic makes for a rich social mix, adding to the positive experience of our players. 

Besides the obvious health benefits of playing football for an hour or two every week, we also recognise the important positive mental health contribution that our group provides. Given our demographic and the various stresses and challenges of modern life, we know the importance of forming good social networks and participating in the local community. FFF is a positive and proactive way of maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.

Football is, after all, the beautiful game and it’s all about being enjoyed. Yes, we all want to win - but not at the cost of enjoyment or to the detriment of our players and teammates. We will not tolerate any players being overly competitive, physically or verbally, or aggressive or discriminatory in their interactions with other players.  We firmly believe that winning should not come at the cost of inclusivity, wellbeing or enjoyment. Where these founding principles are threatened or compromised we will act appropriately to protect them.

FFF is delighted to support local good causes and charities. We see this as a very fortunate by-product of being part of a group who all share the same values and principles. As we continue to grow we look forward to being able to further increase the impact we are able to have on positive, local community initiatives. 

We ensure that our sessions are run safely and the venues are well maintained. We regularly update our first aid training to deal with incidents at the sessions. However, anyone paying a subscription or attending any FFF sessions, or other FFF scheduled games or tournaments, does so entirely at their own risk and according to our terms and conditions. Sole responsibility for any injury, illness or death that may occur or later arise as a result of playing football at an FFF session rests entirely with the individual player.
