Team sizes and planning:
You must have appropriate levels of adult supervision in place for the event. We also strongly recommend that teams plan to have a non-playing adult travelling with the team.
Based on past experience please note that you should not enter a team unless you have:
For Junior (U20) events, at least 10 fit players able to travel
For Under-14 & Under-17 events, at least 8 fit players able to travel
However, more than this is recommended.
Multiple-teams:
Clubs/schools are welcome to enter more than one team, but in the event that the tournament becomes oversubscribed, clubs entering multiple additional teams may find lower ranked teams placed on a waiting list.
Accommodation:
We do not offer accommodation as part of the tournament, however, if you are really struggling for options please get in touch and we will try to assist with suggestions. Hopefully, the 1-day format removes this problem for most teams.
Medical Support
First aid / emergency cover will be available located near the TD desk or pavilion.
For serious incidents, the nearest hospitals are:
Leicester Royal Infirmary - Infirmary Square, Leicester LE1 5WW
Leicester General Hospital - Gwendolen Rd, Leicester LE5 4PW
