We're passionate about football, and since 2010 hundreds of teams have

and your team to come and experience it first hand and look forward to
welcoming you in 2017.
This year we hope to have over 150 teams from all over Scotland and further
playing from Sunday 4th June and Sunday 11th June 2017.
We are delighted again to be using Armadale Academy Sports Hub in Armadale
with both 3g astro and grass pitches for soccer 7 teams (born 2008 to 2006). In
addition a full days football for development 11's (2005) and competitive
challenge games for 11's teams (by invite). SYFA qualified referees being used
for all games.
The club will be operating a park and ride to ease possible congestion on the
weekend of 10th and 11th June to ensure you arrive on time at the respective
venue. Games will commence 9am with the last round approximately 2pm.
There will also be other activities for players and spectators on each day. If you
want to be part of one of the biggest SYFA approved tournaments in Scotland
then get your application form in as soon as possible.

Rate your team
We appreciate there is little point in experienced teams playing others
teams who may have just started playing. We will do our best to match
your team to others of similar ability. It is therefore really important you
complete this part of the registration form. Can you also indicate on the
form which league you play in, we'd rather you had new opponents to play
and this information helps.
For teams with players born 2008, we appreciate you may have just started
playing seven a side football and therefore teams would be rated the same.
Entry forms can be emailed if you are paying entry directly into the
club bank account. Email address for entries is
