The event which started back in 2016 has been a sport staple in the area and consistently attracts teams from all over the South Coast and Canberra.
Tournament Director Jeff Cox loves the event and sees it as the perfect way to "mark the start of the Football calender."
The two day tournament will see more than 300 footballers descend on the Bay, made up of around 40 to 50 competing teams.
"We have teams that come from Canberra, Group 7 and also all of our own Group 16 football teams," Mr Cox said.
The Saturday will see the U12s and U14s take the field, with an average of 50 games played and then on the Sunday the U10s and U16s will take reign.
During the middle of the day there will also be a number of girls games being played which is a first for the event.
Every team is guaranteed at least four games of football over the weekend, meaning that every player should be able to get their league fix.
Mr Cox said the positive and relaxed nature of the event is what consistently brings people back to Mackay Park.
"Don't bring your team if you want to come and play for sheep stations, the whole attitude is supposed to be relaxed," he said.
"It's good for players, it's good for coaches, it's just a very fun and positive event."
The event will start this weekend March 26 at 8:45am and run late into the evening on both days.
