Its not too much trouble to organise.
Because I was doing it for the National Council of the Blind (NCBI), I got a reduced rate on the pitches, I think she gave me half price. I had to get a letter from NCBI explaining that I was fundraising for them and I sent it to the manager in UCD sports centre.
I booked the pitches about 6 weeks in advance, but originally I wanted the 5-a-side like last year, but they were booked so I got the bigger ones. I'd advise you to book as soon as you know when you want to do it, as you'll have a better chance of getting the pitches you want.
Tips:
Pick a good day, I picked last weekend, as it was the wk after the bank hol wkend so I thought people would have been away for the bank hol and would be more likely to be around.
Make sure you've lots of water/lucozade sport and maybe bananas (I only had a few), as they could eat them and still play. Suncream also if its hot.
Make sure you've got people who'll ref for you. I just got people from the teams that weren't playing. Also footballs, bibs, whistles, paper, pens and watches.
Refs will keep scores but keep the results and scores for each team on one sheet that people preferable can look at.
Have a First Aid Kit & ice handy
Have someone to help get things organised for you, and do stuff for you when you need it, like getting plasters/ice or water for people.
Keeping it all to time is probably the hardest thing, you'll have to chivvy people along and shout a bit to get people onto the pitches to kick off in time.
Also, most n.b., tell everyone its starting half hour before the real time, as everyone is generally late and it takes a while to get started.
Hope it goes well, if have any more questions, lemme know
cheers,

So, which charity?
Paws?

dogs do plenty of shit for us, after all.yeah man. I never see anyone doing shit like this for dogs. it'd be cool.
we could make a whole day of it and see if we could get sponsorship from some nice companies.

Ladies should be free in though, obviously.
