Age Dispensation
It is possible for Under 9, U11, U13, U15 & U17 teams to play in the lower age group due to the age dispensation rule which allows a maximum of 3 over age players (up to 6 months older) to play in any one game. NOTE: Clubs wishing to play 7v7 & 9v9 in D Class and E Class respectively should indicate this in the special request section of the booking form.
There are no dispensation players allowed in Spanish Tournaments. It is important that you inform us on the booking form of the exact number of boys born in each year of your age group - for instance an U11 team may have players born in 2008 and 2009. This information will determine in which age group your team plays & will help with the competiton aspect of the fixtures arranged.
