Eastern
Region Clubs agree to 2010 Gala Day dates and
locations
Several
Clubs in the Eastern region have met and agreed to conduct a
program of Gala
Days to be run within the region during the SSF
season. The clubs currently active in this program are Boronia,
Croydon City Arrows, Montrose, Mooroolbark and, of course, Ringwood
City,
Who
can participate in the Eastern
Region
SSF
Gala Days?
The
intention is to provide the U5 - U7 SSF participants with
experiences of club versus club football within the
Small-Sided Football formats. Children playing in the U9
or U11 weekly fixtures will not be allowed to participate in
Gala Day activity.
Each
club can field as many teams in each age group as they wish.
Each team may consist of as many players as the team
wishes with a maximum
of 4 on the field at any one time.
There is no limit to the number of interchanges.
Each club must provide a Game
Leader for each team
participating on the day.
What
is the Gala Day format?
Each
Gala Day will commence with a team registration and introductory
period starting at 9:30 am. Teams will be organised into 2
experience levels - Joeys for the less experienced and Kangaroos
for the more experienced. Each club has the responsibility
for assessing the players and assigning them into teams of the
appropriate grading..
Each
team will then play 2 games within their age group, each of 2 x
15 minute halves with the first round commencing at
approximately 10:15 am.
Multiple games for each experience level will be held concurrently.
The Gala Day should conclude by 12:00 - 12:15 pm.
Specific
fixtures for the day will be published by the host club when the
number of teams in each age group from each club is known.
