Working with the FA's DNA foundations Pitchside 3's aimed to use small sided sessions and games to improve player's abilities whilst enjoying the game. More touches, more goals, more fun!
Join us for a day of trial formats, a mixture of 3v3, 2v2+GKs, 1v1, GK Wars and 5-3-1 formats as new style events for Pitchside this summer.
3v3 – Our traditional 3v3 style tournaments with some altered pitch sizes and rules (teams or group of friends)
2v2 + GKs – A twist on our 3v3 match where bigger goals are used with the added bonus of a fixed goalkeeper! (teams or group of friends)
1v1 – Try out your skills in a 1v1 battle with our mini pitches and goals
GK Wars – One for the goalkeepers, keep as many shots out as possible whilst trying to score as many as you can!
5-3-1 – Put your team against 3 different variations of the game where your players will compete in 5v5, 3v3 and 1v1 events to see who will take home the trophy. (Teams entering this one MUST be an affiliated team with a coach in attendance)
The event will be held at Ross Sports Ground and based on 2024-25 age groups.
Trophies and Medals up for grabs across all the formats.
Our Football Fun Zone will on offer as well during the day for your teams to try to pot a hole in one, test their speed and much more.
Food outlets available.
Based on 2024-25 Age Groups. Strictly no academy/JPL teams or players allowed.
