well 5 years ago i taught about that myself and went about it . im over here in ireland and was determined to start a sunday league team with a friend of mine and develop a club so nearly six years on we are still going let me tell you now it is a lot of hard work and a lot of **** you have to be fully committed to the cause and stick by it and when you get big people want to take what you have created so think long and hard about it . what country are you in. check with your fa or local league and work from there if its like here you will have to do everything yourself and get very little help but sometimes you sit back and say its all worth it we have young teams and all now so the future looks good we have a web site to that i made myself for the players and supporters check it out for the laugh and let me know by signing the guest book cheers i wish u luck you will need it here is the web adress

Clearly there is no cost for starting a team who only play friendly matches, so assuming you want competitive football you need to contact your county FA and get registered for next season, probably for a Saturday or Sunday league. The system is similar whether for men's, women's or kid's teams. Try http://www.thefa.com/GrassrootsNew/CountyFA/
That said, running a football club is a hassle (try getting 14 people to turn up every Sunday morning when you can only play 11 regularly), so have a look for an existing club. http://www.thefa.com/GrassrootsNew/Player/Postings/2000/03/FindAClub
It will be easier to setup a reserve team than an entire club.
And as for finding a pitch, they will usually be owned by the local council or sometimes by social clubs. We pay the parish council about £300 for the year, but that will vary. Add to that registration fees with the league (small), referee's fees (about £20-25 per home game), and some kit, and you'll need to charge £3-£5 per player per game, or get sponsorship.
Of course, if by "Pars" you are in Scotland, you should go to http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/, but their website isn't as good as the English FA hence the links above.

No, even though spring training has begun, it is still not (yet) too late for you to join your college football team for this upcoming season. In fact, I highly encourage you to play for your college football team this upcoming season. Just work hard and perform very well in practice every day this offseason, and you will greatly improve your chances of being successful in college football this upcoming season.

I'd guess getting a ball and a load of people who want to play would be a start.
(Sorry, not really big on football.)
