Most Just Play competitions are open to players of all abilities. Every league listing shows the expected level, and where a competition isn't suitable for everyone, the listing says so plainly, usually as 'suitable for intermediate and advanced players only'.
A typical Just Play player has been out of the game for a while, or has moved to a new city, and knows the rules roughly rather than exactly. Complete beginners are normal here too.
How we match you to a team
After you register, your player survey asks whether you want a social or a competitive game. We use that, along with your age, to put you with people who want the same thing. That one choice does more for your first season than anything else.
Social: you want a run, a laugh and some exercise.
Competitive: you want the scoreboard to matter and teammates who take it seriously. Still social, but the standard and the fitness are higher.
What if I've never played this sport
Choose social, say so in your survey, and turn up. There's more in I'm not fit, or I haven't played in years. Is that a problem?.
If you land in a team that's clearly the wrong fit, tell us early and we'll do our best to move you. Moving a player is much easier than watching one quit.
Our advice: don't overthink it. Check the expected level on the listing, pick social or competitive, and start playing. You can find every competition on the all sports page, and How to read a league listing shows where the level is listed.
