"It means that when teams join they will get a free kit that they can not only play in our league with but also take home and do what they want with it. The league will provide each team with a kit."

The league will have a state of the art website where teams can look at league tables, fixtures, top players and their opponents. The website - www.soccersixes.net - will be updated daily.

There is no entry or registration fee to play in the new Soccersixes league, which will be refereed by qualified officials. All equipments such as balls, kits and bibs will be provided.

Any standard of teams are welcome to the league as there will now be two divisions of eight teams with a promotion and relegation system in operation.

Teams that win their division or finish runners up will be invited to Soccersixes national tournament which will have the top 400 teams from Sixes 200 leagues throughout the country competing at a venue in London to determine the top team in the Sixes network of leagues.

The team that wins the tournament will then go through to an international tournament in Spain and will be fully sponsored all expenses paid by Sixes.

He said: "We will be taking next year our best team from our network a team to the international tournament.
