FAQ's

  1. What clothing should my child turn up in? We would like your son/daughter to turn up in the black polo shirt or round neck training shirt along with smart trousers.
  2. What are the photo options (based on 2022)? Photo's have been taken on day one of each festival early in the morning before play starts. Each team will have an allocated slot to have their photo's taken. There will be a team photo, an individual photo and a silly team photo. The company will come around the pitches asking for sales. The photos will be ready on site and forpick up later that day. The cost to purchase on day one is £35 for all three images (cost based on the 2022 festival and is subject to change). You do have the option of buying one for £20 or three for £35. You don't have the option of buying two, unless they are at £20 each. There is the option of buying post teh festival via the companies website, but at £20 each.

  4. What are the dormatories like? - The dormatories are rooms of one to five people. The team manager and coach will allocate the rooms. Single beds that come with duvet, pillow and linnin.
