This really does set us apart from other festivals. We don’t claim to organise the cheapest tours available, we offer high quality events which are excellent value for money.

We strongly recommend that all teams take time to investigate exactly where you are staying and what facilities are available at the venue when booking your tour. Teams who tour with us don’t need to spend time, effort and extra money taking their party off site for entertainment as you may have to on other tours, it’s all taken care of by Butlins, Haven and Disneyland ® Paris.

We’re proud to be the only company trusted by Butlins to stage youth football festivals at their award winning resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.

“ ESF really is a fantastic experience for all the girls involved. Teams come from all over the UK to participate in the tournaments and it’s always nice to see teams from so many different areas competing over the weekend. Having met so many of the players and managers in recent years at the Festival, it’s clear to see how much the girls benefit from taking part.“

“ I’m delighted to be an Ambassador for the ESF Festival of Football. I’ve been working with ESF for a number of years attending the presentation ceremonies and the girls always look like they’ve had a great time away on tour together. Going on tour can be a great experience for the girls and one they’ll look back on with fond memories with their friends in later years. Hope to see you at the 2014 festival!”

NOTE TO ENGLISH TEAMS Following the Football Association Youth Development Review, the amount of competitive football teams can play in their season is now restricted in certain age groups. However, the FA have confirmed that ESF falls outside of these restrictions so you can participate in ESF without limiting the amount of competitive football you play at home during the season. Teams can also choose to participate in ESF on a non-competitive basis in all age groups if they prefer.

How to Book, Terms & Conditions and Tournament Details HOW TO BOOK 1. Select a venue and call ESF Events on 01664 566360 to check availability. 2. Reserve a place. We will make a provisional booking free of charge which will hold your team a place for 2 weeks. 3. Return the Team Registration Form (P33-34) and Team Registration Fee. We will then acknowledge your entry to the festival and send you your accommodation booking information. 4. Book your accommodation with an accomodation deposit of £30pp. You will then be advised of your final balance which will be due 56 days prior to your tour.

UK FESTIVAL FORMAT Friday - No football is played on the day of arrival so teams can relax and get settled into their accommodation and enjoy the evening’s entertainment. Our managers meeting will take place in the evening at around 8pm. Saturday & Sunday - Each age section will normally be split into different groups with the group winners going though to contest the knock-out stages. The format may vary according to the number of teams entered in each age group. The celebrity presentation will take place on the Sunday evening. Monday - No football is played on the Monday at the festivals. Teams therefore have the option of travelling home on the Sunday evening or Monday morning.

NOTE TO ENGLISH TEAMS Following the Football Association Youth Development Review, the amount of competitive football teams can play in their season is now restricted in certain age groups. However, the FA have confirmed that ESF falls outside of these restrictions so you can participate in ESF without limiting the amount of competitive football you play at home during the season. Teams can also choose to participate in ESF on a non-competitive basis in all age groups if they prefer.

FESTIVAL RULES, FIXTURES & FINAL BRIEFING A full final briefing will be sent to all participating teams 7 days before the festival takes place. The final briefing will include fixtures, schedules and the festival rules which have been sanctioned by the appropriate National Football Association.

QUALIFICATION FOR TOURNAMENT All teams attending ESF must be affiliated to a County, Area or School Football Association. Centre of Excellence and Academy teams affiliated to professional clubs and ‘representative’ sides are not permitted to enter the Festival.

TEAM/CLUB REGISTRATION FEES 4/5-a-side = £99 per team (inc. VAT) 7-a-side = £139 per team (inc. VAT) 9-a-side = £159 per team (inc. VAT) 11-a-side = £189 per team (inc. VAT) Or pay a Club Registration fee of £399 (inc. VAT) and you can register unlimited teams from your club. Team/Club Registration fees are non-refundable.

We’re proud to support the NSPCC at ESF 2014. £5 will be donated to NSPCC (Registered Charity Numbers 216401 and SC037717) for each team that registers to participate in the 2014 ESF Festival of Football. TRANSPORT Teams are responsible for organising their own transport to and from the pitches whilst at the Festival. At the Ayr Festival, there is a bus service between the Holiday Park and the football pitches for which weekend passes are available to purchase for £5 per person. PLAYER REGISTRATION All teams will be required to complete a Player Registration Form, which includes a passport-sized photograph of each player to be registered for the Festival. These forms will be signed by your club secretary to verify that all the details are correct. The committee will retain a copy of this form in the event that it should be necessary to follow up a query about a player’s age. GUEST PLAYERS If some of your own players are unable to come to the Festival, leaving you short of a full team, it will be possible for you to bring a maximum of two ‘guest players’ with you to the Festival. ‘Guest players’ must produce documentary evidence to your club secretary to prove that they are the correct age and they must bring these documents with them to the Festival. The remainder of your squad must be registered with your club for the current season and you must bring your league registration documents with you to the Festival to prove this is the case.

Just wanted to express what a great time we had on our recent tour. After entering last year we didn’t think it could get any better but it was amazing!! For the U10’s it was their first tour and they thoroughly enjoyed it too. The accommodation, facilities and location are superb and the running of the tournament itself was second to none. I am sure the boys will remember their time for years to come. Thank you for all your help and patience with the booking. We look forward to booking again with ESF next year :-) St Annes FC
