We tested out our newest venue last night, a veritable 5-a-side ARENA on a Shoreditch rooftop at Britannia Leisure Centre in the heart of London. With brand new turf, stunning views and even walls for the uncouth/unethical to play bounce passes against, it’s a truly epic 5-a-side football pitch.

As always in Hackney there was extensive tactical discussion/argument during and after the game, and we decided to sum up our top 5 key points for new team managers – take a read, let us know if you agree?

Picture the scene. Feb 2020. Clean crisp air, clear skies, and players who've managed to wake up on time are gathering at a special invite only 7-a-side football tournament in Hackney. 10:30AM and we pull them all together. We run through the rules and then hand over to Ashley Lewis to finish the welcome. He steps up, thanks the lads, and then says "We heard ReachOut FC needed a player today, so we brought you a player to help out."

As he says it, Ballon D'Or winner Kaka steps through the crowd, ready to play for ReachOut FC!
