Fixtures and league tables are on the league website and updated on a weekly basis.
Over 200 players and 18 teams weekly take part in the league and any standard of player or team are welcome to join. Teams can sign up as teams, or individual players and individual players will be entered into a team.
Soccersixes’ director, Matt Scoffham said, “We are proud to provide a successful community event in the area on a weekly basis and also assist in increasing participation in football. Many players attend the weekly event and over the years it has become more popular. Anyone over 16 years old can play in the league and any standard of player or team can enter. Our community event weekly has been praised for providing an organised weekly sports event where people can meet/ play sport in a safe and friendly environment.”

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
