Resources
Players choose a game from its title and description. Copy a sample, then change the details to fit your game.
A good title says the day or time, how many players, whether it is indoors or outdoors, and the level. An emoji is optional: use one that fits the vibe (fire for a competitive night game, a sun for a morning game, a crown for “king of the turf”), put it at the end instead of the start, or leave it out. Mix it up instead of using the same emoji in the same spot every time.

[Group name]’s Wednesday 7v7, Friendly Outdoor
A good description covers the vibe, the format (a regular pickup, “king of the turf,” three rotating teams, or a mini-tournament), what happens if you do not reach enough players, and a little about your group, so players know who is running the game. Replace anything in [brackets].
Competitive indoor 6v6 (regular pickup)
Six-a-side, indoors, and we play to win. It’s a straight pickup: two teams, full time, running score, nothing fancier than that. If we don’t reach 6v6, we’ll drop to 5v5 so the game stays fast. The level is competitive, the attitude is not: good vibes only. [Group name] has run this game for [length of time], and we’d love for you to be part of it. We bring water and bibs and keep the music going. Show up on time, play hard, and join our community.
Friendly outdoor 7v7 (regular pickup)
A relaxed 7v7 outdoors, open to every level. We split into two teams at kickoff and just play: no tryouts, no pressure. Short on numbers? We’ll shrink it to 6v6 or 5v5 and keep going. [Group name] started this game to give the neighborhood a regular run, and new faces are always welcome. Bring a smile; we’ll bring the water and bibs. Arrive ten minutes early, and come join our community.
High-level 5v5 (regular pickup)
A fast, high-level 5v5 indoors: quick touches, tight spaces, and players who take their game seriously. It’s a regular pickup, two teams, running clock. If we’re short, we’ll play 4v4 with subs rotating in. [Group name] has built this into one of the more competitive regular runs around. If you can keep up, join our community. We supply bibs and water. Be on time; we start on the whistle.
Casual coed 6v6 (regular pickup)
Coed, 6v6, and built for fun first. It’s a straight pickup, teams mixed at the start, and everybody gets touches. If we don’t reach 6v6, we’ll play 5v5 and keep the energy up. [Group name] runs this one for the laughs as much as the football: expect some friendly trash talk, good vibes, and a group that will know your name by week three. We bring water, bibs, and a speaker. Show up, be friendly, and join our community.
King of the turf (winner stays on)
A king of the turf night: small teams, winner stays on. We play 4v4, first to score or five minutes wins, and the winning team holds the field against the next challengers. If we’re short on teams, we’ll run three squads instead of four so nobody sits out too long. It’s a fast, competitive format built for bragging rights as much as the score. [Group name] hosts this one weekly, and we’d love to have you in the rotation. We bring bibs and water. Be on time so we can get the first game going.
Three-team rotation
Three teams share the field for this one: two play while the third rests, and we rotate every few minutes. It’s 6v6 on the field at any time, so we need a deeper roster than a standard pickup, but it means shorter shifts and more recovery between them. If numbers run low, we’ll fold down to two teams and play it straight. [Group name] likes this format because everyone gets a breather without losing the flow of the game. We bring water and bibs. Come ready to rotate, and join our community.
Mini-tournament (bracket)
A mini-tournament night: short games, a bracket, and a final. We split into [number] teams of [size] and play round robin or single elimination, depending on the group, with each game running a set number of minutes. It’s 5v5, indoors, and built for players who like a little stakes with their pickup. If a team is short, we’ll fold it into another squad rather than forfeit. [Group name] runs this format once a month to switch things up, and we’d love for you to join a bracket. We bring bibs, water, and bragging rights for the winning team. Arrive early; games start on time.
Weekly community game
Our weekly [day] game at [facility]. It’s [6v6] at a [competitive] level, played as a [regular pickup, king of the turf, three rotating teams, or a mini-tournament]. If we don’t reach [6v6], we’ll play [5v5]. Hosted by [Group name]: [who you are and how long you’ve played together]. Expect regular faces, good games, and good vibes, and if you’re new, we’ll make you feel welcome. Join our community, and please be on time and be friendly.

FAQs
The short answer to what organizers ask us most, on and off Plei. A starting set, answered here in more detail as questions come in.
The Plei app is where players find and join games. PleiOS is the tool you use to organize yours: post games, manage your roster, and message your players. It runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to install.
You get your PleiOS link from us when you are set up. Then click “Continue with Google,” or enter your email address, click “Continue,” and we send you a code.
The game is not the work. Chasing payments, tracking who has paid, and running the waitlist is the work, and that moves to Plei. The game and your community stay yours.
Your community is what fills your game. Plei promotes it to players in your area, which helps, and handles the payments and signups around it.
In PleiOS, click “Create event” and fill in four tabs: “Schedule,” “Format,” “Cost,” and “Settings.” Then click “Publish,” review the summary, and click “Confirm.” The videos under “Training” walk through each step.
No. On the “Schedule” tab, turn on “Make this event recurring,” choose weekly, and set an end date. Plei creates the games for you and publishes each one six days before it happens.
You do. Book the field directly with the facility first, then post the game. Venue reservations are not managed through Plei.
You set both for every game on the “Format” tab. The minimum is the number that gets your game confirmed, so choose one that is low and realistic, a number you are willing to play with. The maximum is the cap on your roster. On the “Settings” tab, “Auto-cancellation” cancels a game if the minimum is not met an hour before kickoff.
Yes. On the “Settings” tab, turn on “Make this event private.” The game stays off the discover page, so only people with your link or a direct invite can join. You can make it public later.
Tell players what to expect: the vibe, the format, what happens if you do not reach enough players, and a little about your group. Copy a sample from “Resources” and change the details.
On the “Settings” tab, click “Upload image.” Use a PNG or JPG up to 10 MB, ideally your own photo, and only upload images you have the right to use. If you do not upload one, the game uses the default cover image.
“To do” is a checklist for a game, for you or anyone helping you, such as “post game on IG” or “share game with WhatsApp group.” Add tasks on the “Settings” tab, then open the checkmark icon on the game card to tick them off.
Every game has a “Chat” tab for reminders and updates. Under “Chat automation,” you can set messages to send for you before or after every game at a facility, such as a reminder an hour before kickoff or a thank-you that asks for a review.
Under “Chat automation,” click “Create message.” Choose the location, name your message, and write it. Then set when it sends: a number of hours or minutes, “Before kickoff” or “After kickoff.” Click “Save message.” It sends for every game at that location. Use “Insert dynamic text” to add the location or field for you.
Yes. Under “My team,” click “Invite user,” enter their email, and choose a role. An “Admin” can do anything in the platform, including adding and removing people. A “Member” can post games and use chat automation.
Open the game, click the three dots, and choose “Cancel event,” or choose “View details” to change the date or time. Then tell your players why in the game chat, so nobody is left guessing. Changing one game does not change the rest of a recurring series.
Click the three dots on the game, choose “Confirm event,” and confirm. Your players are notified that the event is happening.
Yes. Click the three dots and choose “Duplicate game.” The copy keeps the details of the original, and “View details” lets you change anything, such as the date or time.
Click the three dots and choose “Share game” to copy the link. Then paste it into your WhatsApp group or post it on social media.
Plei pays organizers weekly, every Thursday, for games run that week.
Plei charges a marketplace fee on each game. When you post a game, the “Cost details” panel on the “Cost” tab shows exactly what a player pays, including the fee.
You set the “Cost per player.” Plei adds a 15 percent marketplace fee on top, and the “Cost details” panel on the “Cost” tab shows the final price each player pays. For example, a $10 cost per player is $11.50 for the player.
It is optional. Enter what the field costs you to track how profitable your games are, or leave it blank.
