Yes! We're on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Members will also be added to our official WhatsApp group for real-time updates.

We typically practice multiple times throughout the week at any stadium where we can grab a nice piece of turn (one of our popular locations is Serangoon Stadium). On Saturdays, we will either play in an ActiveSG field or a private field, depending on whether or not we are in-season. We strongly advise you to join SFFA on the Reclub app (which we use for scheduling all of our events) and our SFFA Announcements Whatsapp group for real-time updates, as we do have bye weeks and members-only events scheduled throughout the year.

We are in Season roughly 30 weeks per year. Generally, only SFFA Player Members are eligible to participate in SFFA Seasons (although we do have guest passes available for one-off purchase).

In between each league, we have free casual scrimmages and fun, themed matches (such as USA vs. The World and Veterans vs. Newbies).

We run 3 to 4 Seasons per year, with each ranging from 8 to 10 weeks in duration. Generally, only SFFA Player Members are eligible to participate in SFFA Seasons.

​

In each Season, we offer two types of leagues - Varsity and JV.

To participate in the Varsity League, you must be selected by a captain of a Varsity team either in our league draft (at the start of the Season) or during waiver wire pickups (held periodically throughout the Season). If you are not selected for a Varsity team, you will be automatically eligible to join a JV team.

​

Varsity players will only be allowed to join a JV league if extra players are needed (to be decided on a weekly basis). JV players can be promoted to a Varsity team throughout the Season (also to be decided on a weekly basis).

Before each season, 4 teams are established with each having a Captain and Co-Captain. The captains meet and conduct a draft whereby they select players on their team. Each team tends to have roughly 20. Anyone who is not selected for the Varsity League automatically goes to the JV League.

​

Players who join during the Season will be automatically placed in the JV League, and are eligible for promotion to the Varsity League during waiver wire pickups (held periodically throughout the Season).

No. Attendance is completed up-to-you; there is no minimum commitment required.
