How to join 5 a side teams looking for players

The best way to find a team/get a game is to join the Players WhatsApp Community.

Step 1: Message us with this link – Tell us the days of the week and the league venue that you prefer to play at.

Step 2: Get notified – When a team is looking for a player or ringer 5aside.com will message you a ‘Player(s) wanted/needed alert’ with details of the team, league, KO times and (if any) match fees that will be expected.

Top tip: There are sometimes teams looking for new players to join their team, but it’s more common for teams to be looking for players to play in a single match (as a ‘ringer’) – This is a great way of joining a team, assuming you get along with them them (it also helps to have a good game!)
