kickabouts

Informal football games

Kickabouts are informal games of football (soccer), typically played casually without strict rules, referees, or organized teams: We'd have kickabouts in the park after school.

The term is primarily British.

A kickabout can also refer to a practice session or warmup: The players had a quick kickabout before the match.
