Welcome to the Parklands Tigers FC 2023 Summer Tournament
|
We are pleased to be hosting our Summer Tournament again after a 3 year break.
At this year's tournament we welcome teams from u7-u14 across two days of football. This tournament has been designed to give every team an opportunity to progress out of a group stage, so no team has to go home too early.
We are running an online scoring system for the first time, which will be updated as soon as results are received. This will enable almost 'Live' results on your smartphone, along with standings and fixtures. As stated; this is our first time going digital but are hopeful of a smooth process but please be patient.
Please support all teams and players, respect the tournament officials and referees, and remember this is a youth tournament providing children a fun and safe environment to play the beautiful game.
Parklands Tigers FC hope that you and your teams have a great day and enjoy the football.

- Pitches must be cleared ASAP after each game
- Do not warm up on pitches, the start time is the kick off time so please sort formations and team talk prior to kick off
- There is a ample time between matches for refreshments and team organisation but if you are late to a KO by half of the playing time (eg: 5 minutes for a 10 minute game) you will lose the game 2-0. Being ready adjacent to the pitch when the game before yours is being played would be advised.
