WHAT YOU GET FROM XLFC ...
Full Back Office Support...
Don't fancy chasing people for payments or dealing with all the admin that comes with running a grassroots football team - we've got your back!
XLFC provides full back office support, so you can concentrate on getting fit, and winning games!
From centralised collections of fees to player registrations, you'll have access to our amazing systems to make your life easier!
Social Media Support...
One of the best ways to raise awareness of your team, is via Social Media! But not everyone is an expert content manager, so XLFC provides full support with getting you started and making your social pages stand out from the crowd!
We also re-invest money back into marketing for your club each month, to attract more players and ensure your local community can benefit from everything XLFC has to offer.
Equipment for your sessions...
We know running a club comes with a heap of additional costs, like footballs, cones, bibs, ladders etc etc. So we've got you covered there too! We'll give you a brand new bag of balls and all the gear you need to run your weekly football sessions.
So planning whether you focus on set pieces or fitness, corners or shooting, is all you need to worry about.
FA Certified Coaching...
If you have an FA Qualified Coach among your players who wants to run things as the club's manager, great! If not - we'll help you become one. As part of our commitment to offering our players the chance to develop, we'll subsidise up to 50% of your FA coaching qualifications. Typically all XLFC coaches will have at least the "Introduction to Coaching Football" course under their belts but if not, we'll help you get it! Win for you, win for us having qualified coaches running our brand new teams!
Pitch Hire and Invoices...
One single monthly fee to cover EVERYTHING! XLFC take all the headaches out of running your weekly training sessions. We book them for you, we pay the invoices [on time] so you don't have to.
Got a game? Tell us where and when you're playing, and we'll pay the bills for you!
All you need to do, is turn up and get stuck in [and hopefully win a few games in the process!]
Kit Design & Manufacturing...
Once you pick your club colours, the next step is sorting your brand new kit, and we can help there too!
XLFC can help you bring your kit to life, via our very own suppliers, who can work with you on your team's bespoke new gear and ensure your players take the pitch looking fresh!
There's also an online store for your team, to make sure anyone who wants extra kit or training gear can order it as they wish. [Cost of final kit not included].
Weight-loss Coaching...
We're a weight-loss programme primarily, so in order to make sure your players can both track their progress and compete for regular prizes, XLFC provides a weight-loss coach who will track your ups and downs on the scales [which we also provide] then log it on our "PitchFit" App, so we can see how you're getting on each month and send out rewards for hitting milestones.
Loads of Player Benefits!
Our primary focus has always been to make our player offering as strong as possible, meaning XLFC players get more and more for their money all the time! From discounted gym memberships to community partnerships with local professional and semi-professional football clubs, to training sessions with former Premier League stars and advanced coaching support direct from the FA, XLFC has you covered! And if there's something we don't offer that you think your team could benefit from - shout!
XLFC will keep moving forward, so you never have to go back ...
TESTIMONIALS ...
STEVE SKELSEY
Reading XL FC
I joined back in 2023 and I’m still loving every single minute out on the pitch with a bunch of great guys. I never thought I would see myself playing for a football team due to being overweight but here I am with my name on the back of a shirt playing in a league with other like minded people enjoying the beautiful game.
Thank you Reading XL and thank you XLFC
KIERON FRENCH-GERE
Reading XL FC
A fantastic club, really given me the accountability back for my health and weight loss.
Great group of lads as well very welcoming from the moment you walk through the door.
If you want to lose weight and love your football this is the perfect way to go about it.

Reading XL FC
I love playing for the Reading team. Great cause, great bunch of people who are all fighting together for the same thing.
Even through injury, I'm supported massively by the club and players.
Would really recommend anyone that wants to lose weight, playing football with like minded people.
