THE BROOMHILL FESTIVAL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT:
INFORMATION FOR TEAMS
As in previous years, Nether Green Football Club is running the tournament on behalf of the Broomhill Festival Planning Group with all the proceeds going to this year’s chosen charities:
Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice: provides care at home and in their hospice for children and young adults with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions. / The Sick Children's Trust: provides 2 Homes from Home - Treetop House and Magnolia House - where families can stay close to their children who are seriously ill in hospital.PACT (Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia): a support group for the families of young children with cancer. / Friends of The Botanical Gardens, Sheffield (FOBS): support the Gardens and provide the opportunity for gardeners of all abilities to meet and learn more about horticulture.
This year neighbouring junior clubs in Sheffield 10, Crosspool and Hallam Rangers, have invited to join us to support this local event. As the event is run under the auspices of FA Schools Football, the age groups are in school years, rather than age system used in League football.
There will be 2 tournaments on the 12th June - a morning competition for girls only, kicking off at 11.00am with the larger tournament for mixed groups and boys kicking off at 1pm. Teams are asked to register at least 20 minutes before the start times. Most of the afternoon matches will be completed by 4pm, with only semi-finals and finals to follow
Picking a Team
Girls - in order to encourage the participation of girls’ teams, there are no rules regarding their selection.
Boys/Mixed - Y1 to Y4 (equivalent to U7 to U10 for League teams). There are no restrictions. Applications are welcome from club development sides, typically Y1/2s whom clubs are preparing for League football. For many it will be their first experience of playing others.
Y5 to Y10 - As this is a fun tournament the older age groups are asked to include at least one or two players who do not play regularly for a Junior League team. To give an indication of how, as a League club, we manage it we typically say to players ‘pick the sides yourselves and include friends from school who don’t get the chance to play football regularly with you’.
There are plenty of summer tournaments for established League teams and this tournament is not all about winning, it is about participation particularly for local players. Academy players won’t benefit from a tournament in which there are lots of entries from groups of school friends who ordinarily just enjoy kicking a ball about. This is why we have aligned age groups with school years and can encourage entries from teams with fun names e.g. Arctic Funkies.
The remainder of this pack contains:
· An entry form
· Joining instructions
· A copy of the rules
On the day, at registration, sides will be given a schedule of their matches.
Refreshments will be available.
Presentations will take place where registrations are taken on the top site (left of the main entrance).

THE BROOMHILL FESTIVAL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT:
JOINING AND TOURNAMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. All entries must be received by Friday 27th May 2016.2. On the day please try and arrive no later than 12.30 pm, girls by 10.30am. There may be a queue at the registration desk. On arrival at the entrance to Goodwin you will be directed to the registration desk. You will be informed of your age group pitch on the day and given a schedule of fixtures.
3. In the event of clashing teams colours, managers may borrow coloured bibs kept at the registration desk…to be returned after the match in which they are worn.
4. All results will be recorded on a master score board stationed by the registration desk and on a board by the main building on the lower site (younger age groups). It is the responsibility of the manager or a player from a winning side (or in the case of a draw the ‘home side’) to deliver the match result to the registration desk where it will be recorded on the master score board.
5. If a team does not appear within 5 minutes of the scheduled kick off time they will forfeit the match, the points going to the other side with a notional score of 2-0.
6. The decision of the referee is at all times final. / The aim is to have a minimum of 8 sides but no more than 10 sides in each age group randomly split into two divisions A and B.
The semi-finals will consist of the winner of A playing the second team in B and the second team in A playing the winner of the B. The winners of the semi-finals playing each other in the final.
In the event of teams tying then deciding the higher position will follow this sequence until one side is higher than the other:
1. Goal difference, if the same then
2. Higher number of goals scored and
3. If still the same the best of 5 penalties and then ‘sudden death’.
In the unlikely event of less then 8 entries in an age group arrangements will be made for additional matches, such as one division of 6 with 1st and 3rd , 2nd and 4th in the semi-final.
RULES
1. Maximum 6 players per squad, that is just one substitute (we want players playing not watching).
2. Normal football rules except for unlimited on/off substitutions and no offside. In the event of a yellow card a player will miss the next game, a red card and the player will be banned from any further play.
3. Roll on/roll off substitutions allowed, that is a ‘subbed’ player may be brought back on in another substitution.
4. Matches of 12 minutes duration one way (the winner of the toss deciding the direction, the loser kicking off). /
