Working with the FA's DNA foundations Pitchside aims to use small sided sessions and games to improve player's abilities whilst enjoying the game. More touches, more goals, more fun!
We’re excited to invite teams to join us for our “Score at the Stadium” tournament allowing you to play a competition on the pitch of a local stadium!
The tournament will be at Blundell Park, Grimsby the home of promotion chasing Grimsby Town.
Line your team up to walk down the tunnel having their team name called as they enter the pitch to match day music then line up for your team photo on the pitch and with “The Mighty Mariner”.
Play a minimum of 60 minutes game time on the main pitch and ALL players receive a participation medal, runners up medal or winners medal and trophy on our show stage!
Tour the changing rooms during breaks in your session.
Some matches filmed throughout the day and our official photographers will be on site to capture those special moments.
Food outlets and fun zone will also be available throughout the day.
£3.50 spectator entrance fee via TICKET ONLY (coaches free).
