Tournaments

Football never stops! Throughout the early part of the summer, many grassroots clubs will organise football tournaments. This will involve a number of teams from different clubs playing out a competition in one location. Generally, the younger players in each team will play a qualifying 'round robin' league to ensure that everyone gets some football; the most successful teams then proceed into a knockout cup style competition. Most tournaments are completed in a day and can be great fun.

Tournaments do take some organisation but they are a great way of getting involved and making a contribution. They are also an excellent way of raising funds. Click here for a checklist that you can download to help you organise a tournament.
