So what is Just Play?
Just Play! is about playing football. As simple as that. The FA and Mars, The FA’s Adult Football Partner, have made it easy to turn up and start playing the football that best suits you: whether it’s a good old-fashioned kickabout or a more competitive game. Peter Crouch grew up in Ealing and hopes the scheme will encourage people who have stopped playing to get involved. “I go over to my local park and don’t see as many people playing as I used to. Hopefully schemes like this will change that,” he says.
