Squads are expected to take part from Forbes, Cowra, Young, Bathurst, Orange, Parkes, Wellington and Bathurst.
The centres are looking to field over 40 teams in the Under 9s, 11s, 13s and 15s age groups.
Games kick off at 9am, and are expected to finish at 3pm.
Under gala day rules games are 15 minute halves with no half time break.
The format is a round robin format with the winner of each pool progressing to the finals.
If two teams are equal at the end of the round robin the finalist will be decided by the difference between goals scored and goals against. If the difference is still the same the team which scores the most goals will proceed.
In the final if scores are equal golden goal will apply during the next 10 minutes of play. If there is no goal scored during this period a penalty shoot out is held.
Normal soccer rules apply but the under 9s will have seven players on the field with three reserves and the under 11s having nine on the field and three reserves.
Corners and free kicks will not count in any matches.
Refreshments and food will be available. Good luck to the Forbes teams.
