11s Football

The 11s football league is the largest and most popular Intramural sport at Newcastle.

League and cup format

56 teams compete across 7 divisions in our Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday leagues, each playing another twice as they battle it out to become league champions, gain promotion or avoid relegation for the coming season.

There is also a Wednesday and Weekend cup competition, where all divisions are entered into an open draw.

Teams are typically made up from courses, societies, halls of residence or groups of friends who love playing football. Any new players should contact the captains directly to find out about open training and trials via the contacts tab listed below.

All matches are assigned a Northumberland FA qualified referee with each team required to pay a £17 per week ref fee.

At the end of the season, the winning teams come away with a shiny trophy and medals. They will also have their name ingrained in Intramural history.

Where and when

The season runs from October to May. Fixtures are either played on a Wednesday from 14:00 onwards or all day Saturday & Sunday, depending on which league your team has entered. 

All games are played at Cochrane Park or Longbenton Sports Ground on a mixture of 3G and Grass pitches.

Looking to join a team?

Teams will run pre-seasons, open training sessions and trials in Freshers Week and early October. All new players looking for a team can contact the captains directly via the contacts tab listed below. It is still possible to join a team once the season has started, you should contact the captain to discuss if a team has space for additional players.

You can also use our players hub to see if any teams are actively seeking out additional players: Intramural Football Players Hub

First Aid and Accident Report

All Intramural sports fixtures at outdoor grounds will have a designated first aider. Note: a first aider may be covering multiple games so you may need to check other pitches in order to locate them.

In the event that there is no first aider available due to them treating another player for e.g. teams should inform the grounds staff of any injury or illness who will provide first aid treatment.

If an injury or illness occurs during training or friendly match in which a first aider is not provided teams should inform our grounds staff who will provide first aid treatment.

For head and concussion injuries. A SCAT test is available from the University Physio in order to determine a timescale for your return to playing sport. Costs for this will be paid for by Sports Services.
