Following
the highly successful staging of the 2008 FA UMBRO Futsal Youth Festival held
at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) in Sheffield
the 2009 event promises to be hugely popular.
The
event will once again be held at EIS in Sheffield
over the weekend of 27th – 28th
June 2009 and is open to the
following age groups:
Under
10’s Boys / Under
10’s Girls
Under
12’s Boys / Under 12’s Girls
Under
14’s Boys / Under 14’s Girls
Under
16’s Boys / Under 16’s
Girl’s
The
FA anticipates significant interest in the event and is seeking applications
for teams wishing to participate in the Festival. It is likely that the event
will be oversubscribed in most age groups and therefore all expressions of
interest will be viewed by the Local Organising Committee who will determine
entry into the competition based on the following criteria:
Teams
with Charter Standard or Focus
Schools status
Teams
playing regular Futsal – e.g. Leagues / Competitions / Festivals
Teams
that have previous involvement in FA and / or County FA Futsal development
programmes
Teams
that have previously played in the National Youth Futsal Festival
Please
note that:
County FA’s may nominate teams or teams
may enter independently but in both instances the form must be completed.
Should
County FA’s wish to nominate a winner from a County competition that has
not yet taken part, then they need to provide some information on the
structure of their competition – e.g. we are running a Girls’ Under 12’s
Festival on x date and we anticipate x number of teams taking part.
The
Festival is only open to teams affiliated to their local County / Schools FA.
Centres
of Excellence (male and female) and Academies (male) are not eligible to
enter teams into the Festival.
Entry
will not be awarded on a ‘first
come first served’ basis. All applications
that are received by the deadline date will be viewed on merit.
