Your Football Days Aren't Over.
And Neither Is Your Chance To Be Part Of Something Special.
Hellraisers is growing fast. We're looking for the right people to help take the brand into new areas — people who share the same passion for the game and want to be part of something that is genuinely making a difference to men's lives.
The Gap Nobody Else Is Filling
There is nothing between open-age football — dominated by younger, faster players — and walking football, which some people are not ready for yet. Hellraisers fills that gap.
It is a proper running game with modified rules to keep it safe and enjoyable. Men play at their own pace. No pressure, no judgement.
As men reach their 50s, things change. Work slows down. Kids leave home. Social circles shrink. Football — for many of them — was the thread that held things together. Hellraisers gives it back. Not just the game, but everything that came with it. The fitness, the banter, the belonging, the routine, the feeling of still being capable.
"Men who thought their football days were behind them are back on the pitch every week — and wondering why they ever stopped."
- A real running game — not walking football
- Men your own age, at your own pace
- Social events and an 11-a-side league
- WhatsApp groups active all week
- Guest coaches and fitness workshops
- Stadium games and a welfare fund
- Player discounts and Spond app booking
The Reward
Running a Hellraisers venue is rewarding in every sense. You become part of a growing community, you make a genuine difference to men's lives, and you earn an income that grows with your membership.
Venues typically generate their first earnings in month one. From month two onwards, as your membership grows, so do your returns. Established venues earn significantly more, and many of our franchisees run multiple venues.
This opportunity suits people who have time to give it the attention it deserves. If you're retired or semi-retired and looking for something that keeps you active, connected and earning —
