The winter school holidays are being kicked off in style for soccer fans, with a youth football festival at the Port Albert recreation reserve.
Wellsford Athletic Football Club is hosting the one-day event on Sunday, July 7 and it is open to any teams in 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th grades.
Festival matches will be played in a round robin format, with no play-offs, and each team is expected to play three or four games each.
Each grade team can be made up of a mix of both year levels that are included in each grade so, for example, 8th grade teams can include players from both 7th and 8th grades.
Clubs should also note that 6th and 8th grade teams should have six members with no goalie, 10th grade teams, seven members including a keeper, and 12th and 14th grade should have eight in the squad including goalie.
There is a $100 entry fee per non-Rodney & Otamatea Soccer Association team, and refreshments will be available at the sportsground in Wellsford Valley Road.
For more information and to register for the festival, contact Cushla Smith on 021 324 965 or email wellsfordafc@gmail.com.
