The schedule for LISA’s annual Mini Festival – hosted by the Juan de Fuca Soccer Association can be found above. Each team is scheduled two games. All teams are scheduled to play both games on the Sunday, October 19th. Please carefully check the schedule to confirm your location and game times!
Your games will be played at the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre Fields, 1767 Island Hwy, in Colwood. Juan de Fuca Field #1, #2, and #3 are natural grass and the Velodrome, located behind the “Q Centre” arena is artificial turf. The Field map and layout can also be found attached.
All coaches/managers are to check in at the LISA administration table to pick up their T-shirts packages. There will be LISA representatives at the festival all day should you have any questions for them.
There will be a first aid attendant on site should you need one as well as food trucks.
The West Shore Parks and Recreation fields are dog free. You will be asked to remove your dog from the premises (please share this info with your teams and families!)
This is a tight schedule with little, if any, time in-between games so make sure you arrive well enough ahead of time in order to find parking and to have your team ready to play. There are 125 teams participating, plus match officials, volunteers and others (baseball and lawn bowls) using the festival venues which means parking space will be in high demand all day long, so it would be a great idea to carpool!
There is no time allotted for on field warm-up time so you will need to find a suitable area nearby for your players to warm up safely and properly.
All U9 and U10 games are scheduled for two halves of 25 minutes each, 6 v 6. To remain on schedule all matches may be shortened to end before the top of the hour. Please be respectful of all participants and be prepared to start your game on time! If a match official is not appointed for your match please have a coach or parent step in!
The home team (listed first on the schedule) is responsible for the game ball and must wear a jersey colour different than its opponent.
This is not a competitive tournament. There are no trophies to be won and no standings will be recorded. Do your best to make it a fun and enjoyable time for everyone, including the match officials and volunteers.
We are looking forward to a fantastic day, and a fun festival.
