About the event
Our Football Festival is designed to give young players an exciting match day experience in a fun, supportive environment. The focus is on enjoyment, teamwork, and helping children build confidence while playing alongside their teammates.
Children will take part in small-sided games that maximise touches on the ball and encourage participation for everyone:
U7: 3v3 matches with squads of 6 players
U8: 5v5 matches with squads of 7 players
This festival-style format allows players to experience the buzz of match day while developing key football skills, making friends, and most importantly, having fun.
