About this event
No trophies, no league tables, no pressure — just a brilliant day of football. Every child plays at least 40 minutes across short rotating fixtures, and our fair-play marshals keep the sidelines positive. Ideal for newer teams, mixed-ability squads and clubs who want a relaxed end-of-season day out.
