THE TUESDAY SHOOT OUT!

Here’s something new!

In a blatant, desperate attempt to keep up with our (inferior) namesake, Baller League, we’ve decided to mix things up a little bit.

No, there won’t be any of those power play bits of nonsense, no light shows or blaring music (we’ve got the neighbours to consider), but we’re having a dabble with the standard Ballers format to try and freshen things up while we’re in between Reddish Tuesday league seasons.

Each team that takes part will play three 15 minute games each Tuesday, with every individual game going towards a league table made up of all teams who take part. This means that any team that takes part in all 4 weeks will play a maximum of 12 games. You don’t have to play all 4 weeks, we will put fixtures together on a weekly basis based on which teams want to take part.

The standard kick off slots of 8pm and 9pm will be the starting times each week, and the price remains the standard £6 per player. The kick off time of games in the 8pm slots would be 8.05pm, 8.25pm and 8.45pm, the kick off times in the 9pm slots will be 9.05pm, 9.25pm and 9.45pm. We cannot run over, so all teams NEED TO BE THERE IN GOOD TIME!

The Shoot Out starts next week, and will run from 9th-30th September

The bonus of this tournament is that teams can dip in and out if they want. Even if you only want to give it a go on one week, just for a run out, that would work fine (if we have space!). We have space to accommodate 12 teams per night, but can run a night with as few as 4 teams, so it’s really flexible.

Once the Shoot Out concludes on 30th September, the BRAND NEW TUESDAY LEAGUE will kick off on 7th October.

NEW REDDISH LEAGUES STARTING SOON

We’ve got a trio of Reddish based leagues starting new seasons in the next few weeks, with spots potentially available in each one for new teams or teams who want to get back into it. All three will be starting in early August, so in availability order, here’s what we can offer.

REDDISH VALE THURSDAY LEAGUE

The first Reddish Vale Thursday league is drawing to a close, and as it remains a new league, we do still have options when it comes to expanding this league, which means we currently have guaranteed spots for a number of new teams. Games take place at Reddish Vale High School on their brand new pitch, with kick off times between 7pm and 9.15pm.

REDDISH NORTH END SUNDAY LEAGUE

Traditionally our biggest single league with 4 divisions, we always have scope to add new teams in at the start of a new season as we have pitch space to expand. Games at the Mike Doyle Centre kick off between 5pm and 8.40pm, and we can accommodate teams who might struggle for the earlier or later kick off times.

REDDISH NORTH END MONDAY LEAGUE

The Monday league is currently made up of 12 teams, but the option is always there to expand to 14 when the new season kicks off. Games kick off at 8pm and 9pm.

All of the Reddish league games are priced at £6 per player, per game.

The Reddish North End Tuesday league is also in the early stages of the season, and we currently have a spot to fill in the top division if anyone fancies their chances.

NEW REDDISH VALE THURSDAY LEAGUE SEASON – COMING SOON!

Our very first Reddish Vale Thursday league season is drawing to a close, with a provisional start date for the new season of Thursday 31st July.

The brand new pitch at Reddish Vale High School is looking in great shape ahead of a busy summer of football, and with scope for us to expand this league, spaces are available for new teams.

Friendly matches are available in the coming weeks, so for more details or to register your team, drop us a message on 07809252658, or fill in a ‘Join A League’ form on the home page.

NEW REDDISH TUESDAY LEAGUE

The brand new Reddish Tuesday evening league will be kicking off on 17th June, and we currently have the possibility of finding space for a couple of new teams.

Games on a Tuesday are 50 mins long, priced at £6 per player per game, with kick off times of 8 & 9pm.

For more details or to register your interest, get in touch asap. Friendly matches could be available as early as tomorrow!

SK BALLERS SUMMER CUP

Time for some meat on the bones of our proposed Summer Cup, which has attracted quite a lot of interest from the minimal promotion we’ve done for it so far…

It will be a 32 team tournament, the first stage will be made up of 8 groups of 4.

Each group will play their three group games (15 mins per game) on ONE Wednesday night between 8 & 9pm at St Thomas More College in Denton on their BRAND NEW PITCH!

The first group stages will take place over 4 Wednesday nights, with two groups per night. For example, Group A & B will take place on week one, Groups C & D on week two etc.

The top two teams from each group will qualify for a second round of group games, 4 more groups of 4 over two Wednesday nights, same time, same venue.

The winners of these 4 groups will qualify for finals night, where there will be the semi finals, followed by the final and a 3rd/4th place play off. Games on finals night will be 20 mins long to allow time for penalties if needed!

It will be the fairly standard £6 per player, per game night for all participants.

We will confirm which Wednesdays the games will take place on once the remaining United (Europa final?), City (rearranged Bournemouth home game) and County (play off?) games are all booked in, and once those dates are announced, space permitting, teams can choose which date is best for them if needed.

From the minimal amount of promotion we’ve done for the tournament, we’ve already had interest from 16 teams, so if you are interested in taking part or definitely want to enter a team, let us know. Teams will be offered spaces on a first come, first served basis once dates are confirmed. If you’ve already expressed an interest, you’re already on the list!

Don’t hang around, these spaces will go fast! Get in touch for further information by dropping us a message on 07809252658, email [email protected], or message us through our social media pages

BRAND NEW VENUE – BRAND NEW THURSDAY NIGHT LEAGUE!

SK Ballers can proudly announce that we’ve been able to secure some pitch space on the brand new pitch at REDDISH VALE HIGH SCHOOL, and will be starting up a brand new Thursday evening 6-a-side league in April 2025!

We want to give as many teams as possible the chance to come and have a look at the amazing new set up ahead of the start of the league, so we will be holding two weeks worth of trial games on 20th and 27th March. These trial games will be in 40 minute slots (7pm, 7.40pm and 8.20pm), priced at £5 per player per game.

When the league starts, games will kick off at 7pm, 7.45pm, 8.30pm and 9.15pm, 40 minute games, and will be priced at £6 per player per game.

We have room for 18 teams in this new league, and we expect spaces to fill up quickly, especially as we had quite a long waiting list of teams wanting to join our Woodley Thursday league.
