About
Powerplay is a top-notch football and netball club based in Newtown, UK, run by Chris and the team. With 15 years of experience, Chris specialises in organising 5-a-side football and 7-a-side netball leagues. Their aim? To make your game hassle-free and enjoyable by handling all the logistics, so you can focus on playing.
Each mini-season runs for about 8-13 weeks, and teams play each other twice. Matches last around 40 minutes, giving you plenty of time to shine. Chris has set up multiple divisions based on skill levels, ensuring every team finds the right competition.
During the season, an event organiser is always around to help—your go-to person for any questions or support. Fees are kept affordable, ranging from £6-10 per player at top venues and £4-7 at standard ones. No joining fees or hidden costs, making it accessible for all teams.
Netball matches are 7-a-side with up to 10 players per squad and unlimited rolling subs. Football leagues feature various formats, with 5-a-side being the most popular. Teams can have unlimited substitutions and a few extra squad members.
Season lengths vary between 1.5 to 3 months, ensuring fast-paced action. Division winners earn trophies, while the top and bottom teams face promotion and relegation. The next mini-season kicks off promptly, keeping everyone engaged.
Chris and the team pride themselves on smooth operations, with a dedicated hotline and on-site coordinator to address any issues. They provide experienced officials—FA qualified referees for football and B or C qualified for netball—to ensure fair play.
If you’re short on players, the Gamefinder service helps you recruit for your next match, so you never miss out. Whether it’s serious competition, training, or just a casual run-around, Powerplay caters to all. Chris offers top-quality trophies, Mitre balls, and great administrative support to make sure you have a brilliant experience.
