Organising a fundraising tournament is not only fun but it’s a great way to introduce kids to new sports they may not thought of trying before. It is also a really inclusive way of bringing family, friends and communities together to support a good cause.
Tournaments could be organised through:
- A local community organisation,
- One local team working on their own
- Several local teams working in collaboration
- A local league itself
- Or independently
Depending on your sport you need to work out how your tournament will work.
Shortened and reduced versions of the main games are usual. For instance Five a Side football 10mins each way etc. To maintain interest try to avoid anything that involves early knockouts for teams. Keep it simple and easy to understand with plenty going on and lots of action for the contestants.
Different types of sports could include:
- Netball
- Football
- Hockey
- Rugby
- Rounders
- Relay race
You may also wish to present awards for specific things such as:
- Top scorers – Either as a team or individually – often called the golden boot.
- Player of the tournament – Chosen either by ballot of all those taking part or based on the judgement of a coach or similar.
- Best sportsmanship – the team with the best attitude to the game and their opponents.
- Best supported team – a great way to encourage your supporters to cheer on your team.

They will handle your booking to make it as easy as possible and will be on hand to answer any of your niggling questions, giving you the time to get yourself prepared for the ultimate challenge!
What is it like?
A Tandem skydive is the easiest and most popular of all skydives. It requires only 30 minutes of training before you then jump strapped to your instructor! The BPA (British Parachute Association) qualified tandem instructor does all of the hard work for you, allowing you to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying through the clouds from over 10,000 feet at up to 120 mph! It is a truly unforgettable experience.
Can friends and family come along to watch?
Yes they can – please be aware though that it can be a long day for them if the jump is delayed due to weather. They can usually arrive around 1 hour after the jumper if it is easier for them as training and registration will be completed by then.
Points to remember:
- All Airfields have a weight limit for parachuting – the majority are 15 stone, however there are certain airfields that can take both higher and lower! Details can be found on our Prices and Locations page for each airfield.
- It can take 2-3 days to get you booked. As soon as are you’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need to know about your upcoming jump!
