Andover Town Youth Football Club will be holding their 23rd summer tournament and the ‘Festival of Fun’ on the weekend of 25th and 26th June 2022 from 9 am. The venue this year will be at Picket Twenty Recreation Ground, Andover SP11 6UF, where we expect to be hosting over 100 teams, comprising around 1000 players in 10 different age groups for boys and girls, along with their families, friends and supporters. We also hope to encourage along many more – supporters of local grass roots football, fans of the game in general, and perhaps some of those still to be converted to the cause – with other attractions to complement the matches themselves.
After the enormous success of holding a Cup and Plate competitions, we are proud to announce after a challenging couple of years with a pandemic, we will be running cup and plate competitions in 2022. This means there is plenty for every team to play for. After the group stages have been contested the top two teams of each group will go into the Cup competition. The third and fourth placed teams will then go into the Plate competition. Both the Cup and Plate finals will be a straight knockout.
To accompany plenty of exciting and competitive football over the two days, we will have a bouncy castle for the youngsters, a speed trap shooting net for all, an official photographer, barbecue food, snacks, drinks and ice creams.
A team of dedicated volunteers has been planning and organising the event over the last nine months, and many individuals and local companies have generously provided support and sponsorship to enhance our smooth operation. This support enables us to channel more of the funds raised by the tournament and other events throughout the year, to the development and potential success of our young players in enjoying the best game in the world.
Our club currently has around 240 young players across a range of age groups, and we are always on the lookout for more young talent. But running this large operation does bring associated costs for training facilities, pitches, kit and equipment, so a well-supported tournament is vital in meeting such costs and keeping registration and match fees as low as possible, particularly in the present economic environment.
All will be welcome on either or both days of the tournament, whether connected with the footballers or not, to help make the 2022 edition our most successful tournament ever.
Andover Town Youth summer tournament will be a maximum 5 a side with 3 subs allowed per team. Unfortunately no academy, elite teams or training centres are eligible to enter.
Current schedule:
Under 7’s-Under 11’s Saturday 25th
Under 12’s upwards Sunday 26th
