Circle K Celebrates Soccer
Circle K 2 v 2 Grassroots Festivals
Our famous 2 v 2 festivals are back! Building on the enormous success of the 2019 series, Circle K and Ontario Soccer are thrilled to be delivering another series of festivals during the 2024 Outdoor Season.
What:
The Circle K 2v2 Festival Series revives the innovative small-sided game format to maximize fun, excitement and touches on the ball over a one-hour period on a specially modified soccer field, which has been sub-divided into 16 smaller quadrants.
Teams of two will enjoy about 40 minutes of playing time, rotating in a ladder style play every 5 minutes, as well as 3 minute recovery transitions, icebreakers, dance parties, sideline contests, swag, prizes and refreshments.
