Football in Reading: Looking to Join a Team
I’ve recently relocated to Reading and I’m on the lookout for any casual weekly football games that welcome new players. I’m not specifically seeking out league play, but I’m open to it if there’s an opportunity. I’m in my mid-20s. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
