At NS5 we provide a professional, quality 5-a-side league for boys and girls aged 5-12. Currently based in Richmond and Woking, our fair play approach offers a fun and friendly environment for every player no matter what ability.
Enjoy competitive matches during the week on outstanding, floodlit all-weather pitches with a highly qualified team guiding you every step of the way. We organise everything from match officials to footballs! All you need to do is turn up ready to play; and with unlimited substitutions available it means everyone in your team gets a chance to play!
Awards for outstanding individuals and winning teams will be celebrated at the end of each term with medals and a replica of the Ballon D’or to play for.
NS5 is for everyone! It’s a fun space to play football together!
Playing in the NS5 football league could not be easier. Your 5-a-side team can be mixed, just boys or girls.
We request that each player is in the same school year, and we recommend having 5-8 players in your team to allow for substitutions and absences.
Teams will be entered into age-appropriate leagues, and we do offer a girl only league – so there is a league for everyone! The most important thing you need to agree on is your team's name!
Each location plays fixtures on specific days of the week. These are shown on this Venue section of the website along with time slots each match.
We advise arrived 10 minutes before your fixture to prepare and have your pre-match warmup and talk. All matches will begin on time. Should your team arrive late a fixture may have to be forfeited.
Each fixture will play 10 minutes each way, so 20 minutes in total. The length of the season follows that of a school year. We will only play fixtures during term time only.
We ask that you wear an NS5 kit, shin guards, and Astro boots/trainers
We suggest bringing a rain jacket, a refillable water bottle, and sunscreen should the weather dictate
Our professional, qualified coaches and referees will lead all NS5 fixtures.
The NS5 Team are in overall charge, any questions you have please let the team know
The NS5 league is structured around year groups which follows a tier system and shadows a similar format as the English Football League. This format enables fair competition for all players and teams. We have a mixed league and a girl's league, and teams will be assigned to age-appropriate leagues. At the end of the season awards will be celebrated for outstanding players and outstanding teams
Parents should remain present before, during, and after the match to oversee and manage the team. Parents will be responsible for each player of the team and ensure child specific medication is brought to match fixtures such as inhalers and EpiPens.
We have been delivering grassroots football to children for over twenty years and have been motivated by the success of current football leagues within our locations. We are interested in driving forward a football 5-a-side league specifically for children of primary school age that allows all abilities the opportunity to enhance match play and gain experience.
We are launching NS5 with an aim to become one of the leading 5-a-side leagues in London and the Home Counties. Our focus is to inspire children to engage in competitive football environments that forges pathways to the next level. Plus, it is a fantastic way for children to be social, learn new skills, builds new friendships, and remain active in today’s digital world.
NS5 is easy to join and affordable. We do the work, so you just need to bring along the team and have FUN!
