The 11’s season is just about over from both a viewing and participation point of view, so with a lot of people having three months to spare, here’s some dates for your diary if you want to stay sharp during the simmer months.
SUNDAY 27TH MAY – BRAND NEW SUNDAY EVENING LEAGUE
This could be perfect for those Sunday league teams who want to keep playing during the summer months. A start date of 27th May means the league will be finishing at the start of August, so if you’re looking for joining us for a single season this could be the one. We are looking for new teams to make up a new 5th division we want to add in, even if it’s only temporary! Obviously any teams who want to join without a set end date are more than welcome as we’d love to keep a 5th division going long term!
Friendlies are available over the next couple of weeks, so get in touch for details.
SUNDAY 3RD JUNE – SK BALLERS WORLD CUP – HEATS 1 & 2
Our SK BALLERS WORLD CUP heats take place over two Sunday’s, with heat 1 taking place at 1.30pm on 3rd June, and heat 2 taking place at 3.30pm on the same day. Teams will be allocated a country that is participating in the World Cup and the groups will mirror the actual event. Spaces are limited so get in touch to register your team asap. Half of the cleared proceeds for the entire event will be donated to SoccerAid, another reason to get involved!
SUNDAY 10TH JUNE – SK BALLERS WORLD CUP – HEATS 3 & 4
The following week heats 3 and 4 take place, with heat 3 at 1.30pm and heat 4 at 3.30pm. In both cases the group stages and last 16 knockout games take place during the heats, leaving 8 teams in total to qualify for FINALS DAY. Any teams who take part in the first two heats can have another go in heats 3 and 4 if any spaces are available.
WEDNESDAY 20TH JUNE – BRAND NEW WEDNESDAY EVENING LEAGUE
Our late night Wednesday league is currently without spaces, but there’s time for something to come up, so if you like the idea of a fixed 9pm kick off every week, and Wednesday is the best night for you, get in touch.
TUESDAY 3RD JULY – BRAND NEW TUESDAY EVENING LEAGUE
There is currently one space in the Tuesday league for an immediate start, so if you get involved now there’s plenty of time for the lads to get up to speed with the league before the new season starts in July.
SUNDAY 15TH JULY – SK BALLERS WORLD CUP FINALS DAY
The 8 teams that qualify from the 4 heats in June will be invited back for a straight knockout, 15 minutes a game Finals Day to decide who will be the SK Ballers World Cup winners! The tournament will finish shortly before the kick off of the actual World Cup Final, with the game available to watch in the club house after.
MONDAY 16TH JULY – BRAND NEW MONDAY EVENING LEAGUE
It seems like a long time between now and the middle of July, but the Monday and Tuesday leagues may provide the ideal leagues for students who are home for summer to get involved with. And while there isn’t currently a space, as we’ve already said, there’s a long time between now and then. We have the MUGA pitch available at the centre, so we can get friendlies on for any team who want to get games under their belt while they wait.
