🔥 3v3 football is exploding across the UK — and the summer is shaping up to be absolutely massive for the small-sided scene!

From South Shields to Oxfordshire, 3v3 tournaments are popping up everywhere, powered by the fast-paced format that’s reshaping youth football development across the country. And yes — they’re all being played on the one and only AirPitch inflatable football pitch.

With the FA shining a spotlight on 3v3 as a key player development tool, now’s the time to jump in.

🏆 Here’s Where the Action Is:

  • Lancashire
  • South Shields
  • London
  • North Yorkshire
  • Kent
  • Bradford
  • Stoke
  • Norfolk & North Suffolk
  • East Midlands
  • Middlesbrough
  • Rochdale
  • Evesham
  • North Wales

🎯 What’s at Stake?
Winners from each regional event will qualify for the 3v3 UK Nationals at St. George’s Park — the home of England’s national teams. That’s right, your squad could be playing on the same turf as the pros!

Why 3v3 Football Works:

  • Smaller teams = More touches, more goals, more fun
  • Fast decisions and high involvement from every player
  • Perfect for ages U6–U12, with no time wasted
  • Played on AirPitch inflatable football pitches for maximum safety and flow

3v3 is all about developing confidence, creativity, and technical ability in a format that keeps everyone engaged from the first whistle to the last.

Sure, there’ll be tough games — but that’s what builds stronger players. At AirPitch, we believe that football at younger ages should be about play, passion, and progress.
