Kick the Fat is a football league with a difference, it’s only for players who want to lose weight. On week two you will be placed into teams, after each weeks weigh in your weight loss will be calculated and converted into goals on the pitch.
Kick the Fat best suited for those who can sustain a jog and is perfect for all abilities, even if you haven’t played football for a long time. You don’t have to play every week as even non-playing team mates can still lose weight and contribute to the score.
