- Create teams to play in your APL, along with alliterative team names like ‘Langley Lions’ or ‘Frimley Falcons’. All players should fall between an age range of 2 years so they are of similar size and ability.
- Find a schedule of games that works for you along with a venue and kick off times (schedule ahead every game in the season)
- Contact Sam, to set up your league page on the S4K Leagues website (sport4kids.biz/leagues). This is where you can house all upcoming fixtures for parents to see and use.
- Get phone numbers and set up a WhatsApp group for each team, send text out 2 weeks prior to game day with details (date, time, location, teams involved, link to website)
- Keep tabs on who has said yes/no. You need 5 players per team to be able to play, however it can still work with 4
