The Mitre Cup Football Tournament - Clacton

2010 is the tenth year of this popular tournament that remains a firm favourite with our clients. Past participants have included clubs from the Germany, Czech Republic and the USA - providing an international flavour to the tournament, and with it's close proximity to Harwich International port we are expecting future entrants from the Netherlands.

Clacton, renowned as being one of the hottest and driest parts of the country is a bright and busy Essex seaside town, boasting miles of sandy beaches. The famous pier is a mixture of old fashioned charm, coupled with all the fun of the fair, and the many sea-front amusement centres are buzzing with holidaymakers.

Celebrity Presentation Evenings

No tournament would be complete without our fantastic Presentation Evenings!

Our Mitre Cup presentations are held at The Venue - the magnificent new entertainment complex at Seawick Holiday Park.

With theatre style seating, music, lights and fireworks, we think The Venue at Seawick is hard to beat - who will your celebrity be?

Accommodation - A choice of four great Holiday Parks!

Seawick Holiday Park

With St Osyth beach just five minutes away, it's the perfect place for your holiday. To make your tour a truly memorable experience, Seawick has an excellent range of facilities including The Venue – the fantastic new entertainment complex. The Amusement Area has a wide range of games and machines for children and the young at heart. Seawick’s sister park is just across the road and clients can use the facilities there also – including heated indoor swimming pool. If you wish to sit and relax, try the small fishing lake. For everyday items there is the Convenience Store, and for eating in or takeaways try some wonderful dishes at the Indian restaurant or Chinese takeaway. Alternatively, see what there is to offer at the Food Court.
The Aztecs Entertainment Centre has two clubs with family entertainment, plus late night cabaret. There is also on the entrance to our Park the Seagull Public House with Sky Sports to watch all the football matches and ensure you don’t miss the big games while on tour!

Highfield Grange Holiday Park

There is an array of excellent facilities on the park, which includes an outdoor fun pool complex with exciting 200ft water chute. Kids will also love the indoor soft play area, the outdoor adventure playground. Outdoor facilities include an all weather sports court with sport resort programme to keep everyone busy when not playing football! The park also offers the convenience of a launderette to wash the kits and a shop to buy your food and drink, however if cooking isn’t your thing then try out the takeaway on park, the food choice café or one of the many restaurants near by!

The tournaments are played at the highly sought after Parish Fields pitches, which boast excellent playing surfaces and a club house with changing rooms. The venue is also in an ideal location for our parks with only 5 minutes journey from Highfields, 10 minutes from Seawick and Martello Beach & 15 minutes from Naze Marine.

The actual format of the tournament will depend on the ages and number of teams taking part, with full details being supplied as far in advance of your departure as possible. What we can tell you is that you can be sure of a well organised and planned event with every detail taken care of.

We will do our best to ensure that every team plays the maximum amount of football permitted by the FA on each day of the event in which they participate or qualify.

In most cases, teams of the same age group are divided into groups (the number in each group will depend on the number of teams which enter in that age group). Teams will play a league format and in most cases the winner and runner up of each group will go through to a semi-final to determine the eventual finalists.

Due to differing qualifying dates applying in Scotland, Ireland, and Europe, these teams will play in an age group one year above their own.

We will provide qualified referees thoughout the competition, as well as qualified assistant referees for the finals. You will therefore be asked to put forward a volunteer assistant referee for the early round matches.

In order to qualify for our tournaments, your team must be affiliated to a County or Schools FA. We DO NOT allow Representative, Football Academy, or Schools of Excellence teams to enter. However, individual players from such teams are allowed as 'guest players' within teams who are eligable to enter the tournament.
