The league stages for all ages will comprise 4 x Groups; A, B, C and D.
u8s, u9s and u10s
There will be 4 teams per group and they will play each other once. Teams will be allocated 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. League positions will be determined primarily by the number of points accumulated over 3 matches, except when teams have equal points. Then, the head-to-head result between those two teams will also count and if still not resolved, a coin toss will take place. Goal difference will not be used to determine any team league position.
All 1st and 2nd teams in each league group A, B, C and D will go onto the Trophy Knockout Final bracket, whilst the 3rd and 4th teams per group will go onto the Plate Final bracket. At the Quarter and Semi final stages, losing teams will be eliminated from the tournament. The two remaining Finalists, will both receive a trophy.
u7s
There will be 4 or 5 teams per group. The format will follow an adapted format to that of the u8s, u9s and u10s, dependent on the final numbers entered. Each team will play a minimum of 4 matches and all u7s players will receive a medal for taking part regardless of their match performances. It is anticipated at least 4 teams will go on to contest a Showcase Final stage, with each of those teams being awarded a trophy.
