Team Application Form – BJFF Annual Girls Tournament 2017

Saturday 20th May 2017

Tournament Details

BJFF’s Annual Girls’ football tournament will take place on Saturday 20th May 2017. As with last year’s successful event, where we welcomed 130 teams from across the country, we will be running tournaments for ALL Age Groups from Under 9’s to Under 16’s inclusive.

Please note the age groups used in our tournament will be the age groups for the 2016/2017 (CURRENT) season.

The tournament will be held at our home ground, on Bispham Gala Field, off All Saints Road (postcode FY5 3AL). Directions will be issued to all confirmed entrants, via our comprehensive Tournament Welcome Pack.

There will be a full programme of entertainment throughout the day, with catering facilities on site serving hot and cold food and drinks, ice cream, sweets, plus inflatables, bouncy castles, speed gun challenge, beat the keeper, hair and face painting, and an on-site photographer (Foxpics), with pictures available to purchase throughout the day. We also look forward to welcoming you to our new Club House facilities – the “BJFF Community Hub”.

We will have qualified officials to officiate in ALL games and remind you that each team manager is responsible for all of its players, coaches and spectators. Any disputes will be settled by the Tournament Coordinator.

ALL Age Group Competitions – Under 9 to Under 16 Inclusive (ALL 7-A-Side)

There will be a maximum of 24teams per age group in ALL AGE GROUP Competitions. Teams will be split into groups with each team playing each other. The tournament will be played in accordance with the FA guidelines for mini soccer. There will be no maximum entries per club per age group and each team can register a maximum of 14 players. However, players may only play for one team throughout the tournament.

The winning team in EACH age group will be presented with a Winner’s trophy, with all players participating in the final receiving a trophy or medal.

NOTE! – The format will be flexible for different numbers of entries, but our overriding principle will be to ensure the Girls play as much football as possible.

Tournament registration will be between 08:45 and 09:30 with all age group games kicking off at 10:00.
