Rusthall Football Club is hosting a six a-side football tournament on the weekend 12th / 13th June 2010.

Saturday 12th             Sunday 13th

 

Under 7’s (AM)                Under 8’s (AM)

Under 10’s (AM)              Under 9’s (AM)

Under 12’s (PM)              Under 11’s (PM)

Under 14’s (PM)              Under 13’s (PM)

 

Qualification for each age group is based on the age of the individual at 31st August 2009. For example, to qualify for the under 13-age group the player should be aged 11 (minimum) or 12 (maximum) on 31st August 2008. There will be no call to provide a list of player’s names and evidence to support players accredited age.

To attempt to resolve any issue like this will take the time up of Rusthall organisers that it is better spent in ensuring the smooth running of the tournament and causes a degree of friction between the two clubs in question which is detrimental to the ethos behind this particular tournament.

We trust that all will be in accord with these sentiments and give full co-operation in complying with this age regulation. However if a team is found to be playing a player who is too old the team will be excluded from the competition.

Players need NOT to be registered with the participating club as this affords the managers the opportunity of ‘blooding’ new players for the 2010 / 2011 season.

Each side can have no more than 9 players per squad.

Competition Structure

Invites have been extended to clubs throughout the Southeast to afford the opportunity of competing against ‘fresh’ faces and establishing new contacts/friendships. If you know of an established or newly formed club that would be interested in entering the Fiesta, please can you be as kind to extend our invitation on our behalf and append the details on your entry form.

Subject to the number or participants, the intent is to operate each age group competition on a straight league basis, each team playing the opposition once.

A minimum of 8 pitches will be utilised throughout each day’s competition, which subjects teams to a minimum delay between matches. In addition, where several pitches are in use for the same age group, every effort will be made to ensure that they are adjacent and hence assist managers to assemble their teams in readiness to commence the next game at the scheduled time. All pitches will be numbered by the use of marker boards.

Referees are assigned to a specific pitch and will officiate matches in accordance with the schedule applicable to same i.e. there will be no attempt to synchronise kick off times from a central point, as this would precipitate unnecessary delays to proceedings.

Team managers will be provided with a fixture list, score sheet and full rules governing match play, when they register for their particular competition. The start/end times for each competition, number of games, format etc, will be conveyed by post at least 2 weeks prior to the date of the tournament.

At this stage, a maximum of two sides may be entered per age group per club, say where that club has more than one registered team operating in league competition at the same age group. In this case, the two-side maximum applies to EACH team.

Each squad is allowed no more than 9 players nominated, which is important, as each team will be subject to almost continuous play and ‘fresh’ legs may prove desirable, particularly if we are blessed with fine weather. In addition, should any side fail to appear on the day, ‘surplus’ players from several sides could combine and compete in the tournament.

U7’s will play in a friendly tournament in accordance with the new 2009/2010 FA guidelines on competitive football. All players who participate in these age groups will get a medal once all the games are completed.

Venue

The Fiesta will be held at Rusthall Football Club Jockey Farm, Nellington Road, Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN4 8SH. Directions will be sent to all clubs with confirmation of entry.

Referees

We hope all matches are officiated by qualified referees. This can only be achieved if participating clubs are prepared to assist in this regard. We are seeking the services of 12 officials (MINIMUM) both am and pm for each day of competition. If you are aware of anyone who is prepared to officiate, albeit perhaps only for an hour or so, please include relevant details on your entry form.

Awards

A team trophy will be presented to the winners and runners up of each age group. In addition, a maximum of 9 medals will be awarded to the players of both the winners and runners up.

All players in the U7 age groups will get medals.

Entertainment

Aside from the football itself, there will be a number of sideshows, which cater for all ages. There are abundant, refreshments including barbeque food, a fully licensed bar, all attractively priced. The aim is to make this event a truly family occasion so please encourage wives, daughters, mums, sisters and grandparents to attend.

CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRY WAS 19th April 2010
