We're a Community Interest Company running inclusive, no-pressure community sport, starting with football. No trials, no tryouts, no egos. Always affordable, no team required. Come alone and leave with mates.
Everyone Plays CIC is a not-for-profit community interest company built around one idea: sport belongs to everyone, and the barriers that keep people off the pitch (cost, access, anxiety, confidence, aggression, and cliques) are ours to take down.
We are tackling fitness, health, and social isolation, and building a platform that opens up access to sport for everyone. Alongside the sport we run a supportive signposting network for anyone struggling with their mental health, connecting people to the physical and mental health-boosting opportunities they need.
You might know us as Plymouth Kickabouts, our football arm, but the mission is bigger than one sport. Football is just where we are starting. No trials, no tryouts, no closed circles. Beginners welcome. Rusty welcome. Coming back after a rough year welcome. Whoever you are, get in the game.
Any ability. Any fitness level. No trials. If you can tell a ball from a goal, you're in.
Low prices. Subsidised places available for those who need them.
Each programme operates under its own identity but shares our governance, safeguarding, and inclusion policies. Football is the first.
Lower-impact football for over-50s, those returning from injury, and anyone who wants the game without the sprint.
Mixed-ability daytime sessions, women-only sessions, family sessions. Let us know what you're looking for below!
Football is where we are starting. Other sports, other groups, other corners of the community. Same principles, same low barrier to entry.
Everyone Plays CIC reinvests every penny of surplus into the community. Fund subsidised places, inclusive programmes, qualified session leads, and mental health support for people sport usually leaves behind. One-off, monthly, or as a venue partner.
The evidence is clear: regular physical activity improves mental health, reduces isolation, builds confidence, and extends healthy life. But access to community sport is uneven. Cost, anxiety, ability, and cliques keep too many people on the sidelines. Everyone Plays CIC exists to fix that.
Physical activity is one of the most effective interventions for low mood, anxiety, and isolation. We design sessions around removing the barriers that stop people showing up in the first place.
Evidence-based · NHS guidanceTurning up alone to something new takes courage. We build environments where that courage is met with a warm welcome, consistent faces, and a genuine sense of community over time.
Social connection · communityPricing is kept as low as possible. Subsidised places are available for anyone who needs them. No one should be priced out of staying active.
Access · inclusionNo trials. No squads. No closed circles. Any ability, any fitness level, any background. Our programmes are designed for people sport usually leaves behind.
Open access · all abilitiesEveryone Plays CIC is a community interest company, not a clinical service. Where participants need clinical or professional support we signpost them to appropriate services.
Every Everyone Plays CIC programme operates to the same safeguarding, welfare, and insurance standards. Our policies are written, reviewed annually, and filed publicly alongside our CIC accounts.
Every programme we run is covered by public liability insurance before the first session goes live.
All session leads and volunteers with participant contact hold enhanced DBS checks. No exceptions.
Safeguarding, equality, data protection, and code of conduct policies are available to read. Updated annually.
Sport is why we are here. But we know life sometimes gets in the way. If something is making it hard to take part, health, money, confidence, or anything else, tell us. We would rather know.
If you are dealing with a health condition, hidden disability, injury, or your mental health, reach out to any of our session leads or volunteers. What you share stays confidential, and where it helps we will point you towards trusted local and national support.
For safeguarding concerns, contact our Club Welfare Officer directly via the relevant programme page. In an emergency, call 999 first.

If you need to step away for any reason, just let us know. We will not chase or pressure you. But if we do not hear from you we will probably worry, so a quick message either way helps.
