The Mid-Week Mini-League was formed to provide the opportunity to our members to play 5-a-side football in a positive and supportive environment, while encouraging weight loss and maintaining healthy lifestyles!

The idea of a 5-a-side league within the club promotes social engagement between members, while focusing on physical and mental wellbeing, and generally improving health.

The league consists of 4 teams, split fairly among members of all body types, abilities, availability and positional preference. Teams are encouraged to support one another and are led by a Team Captain who takes the helm in encouraging this, alongside a nominated Vice-Captain.

Each season consists of 9 weeks, with each team playing each other three times, plus the addition of two weight-loss phases in which all players can earn additional league points by losing and maintaining weight loss! This encourages players to not only lose weight gradually and in a healthy manner, but to keep the weight off!

On top of this, players are also encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle and get involved in the club through our weekly challenges which can vary from Stepping it Up, to Fakeaways, to dressing up and showing their support for the club!

Games take place 7-8pm and 8-9pm each night, teams of 5, with rolling subs, at Goals Teesside, with the third season beginning on Wednesday 4th December 2024, running until late February 2025! Games will not take place on 25th December and 1st January, due to pitch closures!
