A Warm Welcome to all our Guests

In the past, BJFF has hosted some of the biggest football tournaments in the UK, with our last tournament attracting in excess of 160 teams and over 1,750 players to BJFF during the weekend, prior to covid in 2019.

Food,Drinks, and attractions supplied all day.

We are providing our own Catering: Hot food and drinks including burgers, sausages, bacon, chips and cold food and drinks including ice cold slush, cans of pop, Lucozade, water, fresh ice cream, iced lollies, candy floss, sweets, crisps and chocolate.

We have several attractions to while away some of the time in between football. Why not try your hand at our “Football target goal” (A chance to win a new shirt!), Giant Inflatables and the Boot Stall, get your players kitted out for the new season!

Winning is not our only Goal!

In the Spirit our clubs’ motto “winning is not our only goal!”, I would encourage you all to play, manage and spectate in the best possible spirit, adhering to the code of conduct and tournament rules. In all age groups there will be winners and losers, and whilst our referees will no doubt make some mistakes along the way, I would always urge you to respect and accept their decisions, in a sportsman-like manner.

Please check out the Pitch Map, Tournament Rules, General Guidance Notes for Teams, paying attention to the points highlighted. All available on our website here

Please remember that the purpose of our tournament is to ensure that all the CHILDREN enjoy themselves. As such I would ask that you show your support and encourage ALL CHILDREN during the weekend. Finally, let’s hope the weather will be kind to us, and we all enjoy a fantastic weekend of tournament football at its best.
