Professional Tournament Organisation

We pride ourselves on attention to detail even the small ones. From organising the schedules, accommodation right down to the cutting of the grass and hiring of portaloos. There at the start, with you till the end!

Over 35 Years of Experience

With more than 35 years experience it is good to know you are in safe hands. Our enviable reputation has been built by dedication and service to our customers.

The actual format of the tournament will depend on the ages and number of teams taking part, with full details being supplied as far in advance of your departure as possible. What we can tell you is that you can be sure of a well organised and planned event with every detail taken care of.

We will do our best to ensure that every team plays the maximum amount of football permitted by the FA on each day of the event in which they participate or qualify. In most cases, teams of the same age group are divided into groups (the number in each group will depend on the number of teams which enter in that age group). Teams will play a league format and in most cases the winner and runner up of each group will go through to a semi-final to determine the eventual finalists.

Due to differing qualifying dates applying in Scotland, Ireland, and Europe, these teams will play in an age group one year above their own.

Our Football Agents

Our reputation attracts the very best staff and we are proud of our team who are football experts dedicated to delivering you the best service. R&T agents attend regular workshops to enhance their knowledge of running a successful event.

High Standard of Refereeing

We have built up a nucleus of quality referees that look forward to attending our events; many have been with us since our UK tournaments began.

We will provide qualified referees throughout the competition, as well as qualified assistant referees for the finals. You will therefore be asked to put forward a volunteer assistant referee for the early round matches.

In order to qualify for our tournaments, your team must be affiliated to a County or Schools FA. We DO NOT allow Representative, Football Academy, or Schools of Excellence teams to enter. However, individual players from such teams are allowed as ‘guest players’ within teams who are eligible to enter the tournament.

First Aid at Football Venues

Injuries unfortunately can happen, and when they do it is essential to have adequate first aid cover. We provide excellent first aid cover at all football venues using the services of organisations such as St Johns Ambulance, Red Cross or other qualified paramedics.

Football schedules, location of pitches, and all tournament information will be displayed on our website approximately 7 days prior to the start of the tournament. It is extremely important to check this information beforehand.
