3v3 FOOTBALL
The Summer Series is all about maximum involvement.
Teams can have up to five players, with games played 3v3.
No goalkeepers
There are no dedicated goalkeepers, meaning every player gets opportunities to attack and defend.
No players in the box
Players are not permitted to enter the designated goal/penalty box.
Roll-on, roll-off substitutions
Substitutions can be made at any time and the ball does not need to be out of play.
The player coming off must leave the pitch before the substitute enters.
FESTIVAL-STYLE FOOTBALL
The Summer Series is designed as a festival rather than a traditional league competition.
Coaches will help referee games from the side of the pitch, with the focus on keeping games:
Fair • Fast • Fun • Positive
Teams will play multiple games each Friday, giving players plenty of football throughout the five-week series.
RESULTS & GOAL SCORING
While the Summer Series is primarily about participation and development, scores and individual goals will be recorded throughout the five weeks.
Coaches and team managers will report the final score and goal scorers after each game.
This information will help NWFC:
- Monitor the balance of games
- Regrade teams where necessary
- Track individual goal scorers
- Award the Golden Boot
- Identify players showing outstanding skills throughout the series
The aim is to ensure teams are playing in competitive and enjoyable games throughout the Summer Series.
🥇 GOLDEN BOOT
There will be a Golden Boot Award for each grade.
Goals will be recorded throughout the five weeks, with the player who scores the most recorded goals in their grade receiving the Golden Boot.
