Ontario Soccer is pleased to confirm that its popular Circle K 2v2 Festivals are back! Building on the enormous success of the 2019 series, we, along with our Premier Partner Circle K, are thrilled to be delivering another series of festivals during the 2024 Outdoor Season.
The Circle K 2v2 Festival Series revives the innovative small-sided game format for girls and boys in the dual-banded U8/U9, as well as U10/U11 age cohorts to maximize their fun as well as, touches on the ball and decision making opportunities over a one-hour period on a specially divided soccer field to accommodate games at the same time!
Teams of two will enjoy about 40 minutes of playing time, rotating in a ladder style play every five minutes, with three minute recovery transitions as well as, icebreakers, dance parties, sideline contests, swag, prizes and refreshments.
Game leaders will ensure a safe and fun atmosphere for all participants and guide participants through the festival play. In addition to playing in the 2v2 format event, participants and families will receive a water bottle, t-shirt, coupons and more.
Open to both Ontario Soccer registered and new community participants, this LTPD aligned grassroots format creates a great environment for young players to be active, make friends and foster a love for the game, while also learning more about the Ontario Soccer Member Clubs that have graciously stepped up as co-hosts.
