The 2019 Rode Six-a-side tournament will take place at Rode playing field on June 15th, 2019. It promises to be a festival of football for all ages.

An over 16s tournament will be the main focus of the day with entry open to teams of 6 (suggested squad of 8). There will be a league based format followed by knockout stages and then a grand final to establish the overall winners (who will receive the coveted SAS trophy). Each game will have an official referee and adhere to six-a-side rules (briefing on the day). It's sort of the Somerset equivalent of the World cup, complete with 1/2 time oranges.

Team entry is open to everyone and there will be spot prizes for best team name and best kit amongst other categories. We will have bibs if kits happen to clash. The focus will be on mixing some great football with a family friendly festival of the beautiful game!

An accompanying football 'village' will house plenty of kids activites and challenges such as the soon-to-be-famous keepy-uppy challenge, beat the keeper and the football coconut shy! We will also be looking at age graded mini-tournaments throughout the day too.

Most importantly, there willl be a stocked bar and food and drink available throughout the day and all proceeds from the event will go to the Friends of Rode and Norton schools.

See you there!
