With over 15 years of experience in running leagues across the UK, Powerplay knows how to make them just right. The leagues run in mini-seasons lasting around 8–13 weeks, with teams playing every opponent twice during one season. Each game generally lasts around 40 minutes, allowing for quick and exciting gameplay.
Powerplay offers multiple divisions within their leagues, ensuring that teams are placed in the appropriate skill and experience level. An event organiser will be assigned to each league, helping teams get started and serving as a point of contact throughout the season.
The club takes care of providing match officials, including referees and umpires, as well as all the necessary equipment. This means teams have nothing to worry about except showing up and bringing their A-game.
In terms of cost, premier Venues typically charge between 6-10 per player, while Standard Venues charge around 4-7 per player. There are no joining fees, affiliation fees, membership fees, or signup deposits.
Games are usually 30–40 minutes long, with one long game per week and no waiting around between fixtures. Netball leagues consist of 7 a side, with a maximum match night squad size of 10 and unlimited rolling substitutions. Football leagues offer a variety of formats, including 5, 6, and 7 a side. Unlimited substitutions are allowed, and there can be 3 extra squad members for 6 a side teams.
A season typically lasts between 1. 5 to 3 months, and at the end of the season, division winners receive a trophy. The top two teams are promoted, while the bottom two teams are relegated. The next mini-season starts the following week, ensuring a continuous flow of games and excitement.
Powerplay's mini-season format makes the league fast-moving and dynamic. Every game becomes vital and can have significant implications for team standings. There's no need to worry about being stuck mid-table for weeks on end. Each week brings new and fresh opponents to keep things interesting.
The club aims to create an informal atmosphere of competitive fun, welcoming players of all abilities. If a team is new or less experienced, Powerplay can place them in a lower division with teams of similar ability. Just let them know during the joining process.
