    EDP NJ Futures Festival 5v5

    There appears to be no futures festival in NJ for U7/U8/U9 5v5 teams. Anyone know what happened and where these young groups are playing Spring 2019?

      I used to help manage this process when I was team manager for our daughter's u8 and u9 teams. FYI, the way this works (the 5v5 festivals) is that there is no "formal" schedule for a season. The festivals are literally setup (in terms of teams and games) on a week by week basis. If you look at this page: https://www.edpsoccer.com/futures you will see that there are published festival dates from EDP. What happens then in the background is clubs can opt in or out on a weekly basis...and put in no teams, 1 team 3 teams, whatever they choose. The team coach or manager works directly with the EDP person managing the process and there is literally a spreadsheet that is out there that is published on the Wednesday or Thursday--typically Wednesday-- before the weekend (I can't recall the link but probably have it saved somewhere)

      So, you will never see the kinda schedule that is out there for 7v7 league futures @ U10 or EDP league schedules at U11 and above. The purpose of the festivals is to provide the clubs a format where they can opt in or out based on what the needs are of the team/club and it's generally a very informal setup. When you arrive at the festival location the day of, you can go to the tent and literally get a paper handout showing your schedule. (this is printed from the master spreadsheet that is online) I can't recall if the spreadsheet is public facing or not but I used to be able to view it on a weekly basis to see who were were playing and stuff. I doubt this process has changed at all.
