Entry: FREE.

Category 1: Novice players

Novices must not be a member of a football club and be considered new to the game 

• Female.
• Male. 
• 3v3, 2v2, 1v1 Tournaments - Each team plays with 3,2 or 1 outfield player/s and no Goalkeepers.
• Mini goals are used and teams can only score from inside their attacking half.
• Teams can have up to 2 x substitutes (excludes 1v1). They can make roll on/off subs at any stage if there is a break in play and the referee has been notified.
• Matches are played on hard surfaces and are 2 x 12 minute halves (dependant on entries) with a 1 minute halftime interval for 3v3 & 2v2. 1v1 is until a specified amount of goals are scored.
• Matches will start on the whistle from the referee and finish on a whistle. Teams must be ready on the court at kick off time.
• Kick ins are used instead of throw ins and freekicks are always indirect.
• Players are not allowed to touch the ball inside the penalty boxes. If an attacking player touches the ball inside the oppositions penalty box it will be an indirect freekick to the defending team. If a defender touches the ball inside their own penalty box it will be a penalty kick to the attacking team – which is taken as a free shot at goal from the centre circle.
