Benefit of Festivals
  • Amended playing time.
  • Amended rules.
  • Let the game provide opportunity to put into practice what has been coached
  • Players allowed to express themselves.
  • Remove the fear of failure and self expression
  • Take the pressure off everyone!
  • Players ,coaches and parents
  • 4v4s and for under 8s
  • Lets get the players better!
  • Players enjoy and Have Fun!  

The concept will introduce the players to a variety of small sided game formats. This will help reduce boredom, increase multi directional play and aid the socializing aspect of using better placed teammates.

This allows 3 - 4v4 games to go on at once with at least 1 player resting at all times. Games period should be no more than 10 or 15 minutes per game. All games kick off together. The final games of the day will be 2- 5v5 games which allows 2/3 players resting per game.
