NYC FOOTY’S CALENDAR

Below you will find important dates with respect to our calendar. These dates include tournaments, holidays and, in general, our registration window for the four seasons of footy that we run annually.

HOLIDAYS*

Through the year, there are 5 holiday periods** where we do not hold games

• New Year’s

• Memorial Day

• Labor Day

• Thanksgiving

• Christmas

*Due to permit restrictions, we are often not able to take off other holidays. If the schedule permits, however, we will take off on Juneteenth and July 4th and/or the Juneteenth & July 4th weekend. But this is not guaranteed and is on a league-by-league basis.

**”Holiday period” varies year by year. We will take off the actual holiday day itself. Often, we will take off the weekend surrounding the holiday and, on occasion, the full week itself. This can change on a year by year basis, based on permit availability, scheduling, etc.

OTHER HOLIDAYS

We do not take off for religious holidays, popular social holidays (e.g. Mother’s Day) and many Federal Holidays (e..g. Veteran’s Day) for a couple of reasons. The most important reason is that we do not have enough time in our schedule to take off all holidays and we aren’t going to pick and choose favofites.

The second reason is related to religious holidays in particular. If we can’t take off for all of them, then we can’t take off for any of them. Otherwise, we are signaling that certain religious holidays take precedent over others.

However, if your team has a scheduling difficulty related to a holiday (or for another reason), just let us know well in advance and we can try to schedule a bye week for your team.

TOURNAMENTS

NYC Footy hosts two annual tournaments and partners on a third.

• The Governors Cup: Takes place the 1st weekend in June, every year.

• The Footy Fest: Takes place over Columbus / Indigenous People’s Day Weekend (October) every year.
