Many teams want to raise revenue and enhance their reputation and standing in their area by running a Football Festival.

If a team in fortunate enough to have access to their pitches during the Summer as well as the Winter then they may be able to consider such a festival, if however you play on Council owned grounds and do not have the main usage the problems of hiring the facility etc may well dissuade you from the idea.

Before any such festival can take place you must ensure that more than just yourself share the vision of the potential event. You will need to form a committee that will share the responsibilities of the organising and overseeing the event.

Each festival committee member may have one or more responsibilities so it is vitally important that the people who volunteer to take a role on, are both hard working and motivated enough to see the job through to the end. To simplify things the organising committee need to draw up a list of responsibilities and allocate each responsibility to a member. They should also nominate a ‘filler’ or someone that is willing to support any member of the group that is feeling snowed under or too pressurised. Some considerations prior to the final decision of whether to hold such a festival include: Will you buy or hire equipment? What will officials cost for the day? Can you get sponsorship for the day? These are some of the many questions that will need to be answered before you can finally run your own Festival.
