Chelsea FC
This year we are again delighted to welcome the Chelsea FC Foundation,
the Premier League club’s community division, to the tournament. Their huge
inflatable pitch will be available for all throughout the weekend.
Equipment
All players should be equipped with their official team strip (either
their usual club shirts or shirts in the colour of their BROCKHAM 2014 allocated
World Cup country) plus appropriate football footwear and shin pads. Shin pads are compulsory. No player will be permitted to participate in
any match without shin pads. It is
likely that the pitches will be very firm in June so please advise all players
to bring trainers as well as studs.
All team managers must provide a set of bibs. In the event of a kit clash these bibs will
be worn by the “away” team according to the match schedule published on the
day.
Face Painting
We’d really love everyone to get into the spirit of the tournament and
add to its colourful spectacle by getting painted up! The Face Painting Tent will be open each day
from 9am for you to have your battle paint applied. Go on – it’ll be great!
Fair Play Award
Fair Play Awards, kindly sponsored by Premier Sports, will be presented
along with winners’ trophies. Fair play
nominations will be made by Match Officials to the Competition Centre. A team from every age group will be awarded with
this special recognition on each day. Even
if you have not made the finals, you may well receive this award, so make sure
you stay around for the awards ceremony.
First Aid
First Aid services will be provided throughout the tournament courtesy
of the British Red Cross. Please,
however, would each Team Manager follow FA guidelines and bring your own first
aid kits with you also.
Food & Drink
There will be plenty of food, drink, and refreshments available to
purchase throughout the weekend. These
will include:
- BBQ offering breakfast
(from 8:00am) and lunch (from noon).
- Sandwiches and
baguettes.
- Fully Licensed Bar with
Beer, Cider, Wine and Pimms.
- Squash Bar providing
all children unlimited squash or water FREE all day.

others’ enjoyment and the environment by ensuring your team and the vicinity
they occupy is left clean and tidy.
There will be plenty of rubbish and recycling bins located throughout
the site on the weekend and each team will receive a refuse sack in their

Lost Children, Lost Property, & General
Information
Lost children must be brought to the attention of the Competition Centre
immediately. The Tournament Team has a
strict and effective plan of action for such eventuality which could prove
critical in finding any lost child safely and quickly.
The Competition Centre will act as a general information point
throughout the BROCKHAM 2014 tournament, including a deposit or collection
point for lost property.
Match Results & League Positions
All match results and league positions will be posted at regular intervals throughout
each day at the Competition Centre. This
location will be clearly marked on the site map published and available on the
day.
Match Schedules
There are over 300 matches being held on each day of the tournament, so
it is vital that each Team Manager pays great attention to their schedule.
First matches will start promptly at 9:30am each day. Any team not registered and available to play
by their allotted time will forfeit the game by virtue of a 1-0 win in favour
of their opponents. We will exercise
some discretion and flexibility throughout the day, but the Match Official’s
decision is absolute and final, and it
is essential the first matches kick-off strictly at 9:30am.
A list of your actual opponents in your qualifying league is enclosed,
as is a full match schedule with the nominated World Cup national teams
named. A full schedule with the actual
names of each team in the entire tournament will be disclosed on the day within
the official BROCKHAM 2014 tournament programme.
No Dogs
Dogs are not permitted on The
Big Field during BROCKHAM 2014. Please
do not bring your dogs to the tournament.
No Smoking
Any enclosed or indoor area such as the Competition Centre and Clubhouse
are designated as strictly no smoking areas.
Whilst a complete smoking ban has not been applied to the whole area of
the tournament, please be conscious that this is a children’s sporting festival
and therefore a discreet, conscientious, and suitable approach to smoking
habits is expected.
It is imperative that all smokers please respect the National Trust land
upon which the tournament is hosted and ensure they do not discard cigarette
butts on the ground.
Officials Perimeter
All spectators must observe a 1m (one metre) area from each pitch
touchline. Only players, Team Managers, and Match Officials may encroach within
one metre of the pitch. Please ensure all
equipment and spectators remain behind this line throughout the tournament.
Other Activities
BROCKHAM 2014 has a number of other activities planned for each day of
the tournament. These include:
- Face painting
- Free Chelsea
inflatable match pitch for informal games.
- Free Players’ Raffle
Please encourage participation in as many events as you can, but do keep
an eye on where your players are.
Remember, matches must start on time.
Player & Spectator Conduct

the field of play, or reported by the referee for misconduct before or after a
match, will not be allowed to take any further part in the competition. All cases of misconduct shall be reported and
dealt with by the Surrey County FA.
Any player or
spectator reported for violent or abusive behavior or unacceptable language on
or off the field of play will be dismissed from the premises of the competition
and will risk the disqualification from the rest of the competition for the
team they represent.
Player of the Tournament
Brockham Badgers FC will be presenting a football to EVERY team competing. We would ask that managers award this to
their Player of the Tournament as a memento of fair and dedicated competition
with our thanks. You will receive your
football when you sign out at the Competition Centre prior to leaving the
tournament.
Players Raffle
Inside the event programme there will be an entry slip for our players’
raffle which includes a child’s mountain bike and 2 tickets to a Chelsea home

Tournament Rules
Please take time to make yourself familiar with the Tournament Rules
(copy enclosed) and available online at www.brockham2014.brockhambadgersfc.co.uk.
Weather Precautions
June is one of the UK’s warmest and driest months (allegedly!). Please would all Team Managers ensure players
intake sufficient quantities of fluids throughout the day and rest when
possible in the shade. To help
facilitate this all players and other children are entitled to unlimited and
FREE squash or water at the BROCKHAM 2014 Squash Bar. We also recommend protective sun cream is
applied regularly.
Should we experience unusually wet weather the tournament will continue
except for very extreme conditions. It
is advisable therefore that you check the weather forecast the day before the
tournament and recommend to parents, players, and spectators to bring an
umbrella and appropriate clothing for such an eventuality.
Gazebos and umbrellas are
permitted but please position them at least 3m from pitch side.
