5. What's the weather like in May?

Most of our events have enjoyed sun and great weather, 20° – 30°C.  Nevertheless, the tournament is still held in Belgium, so there is always the risk for some rain and showers, so we advise bringing a rain jacket along. You can find the week’s forecast for Leuven here.

10. How many players may we bring?

You can register up to 12 players for the Sevens tournament. Our experience is that all teams need a minimum of 10 players to meet all of their commitments on the pitch. We often have players showing up that can usually help to supplement teams who are short of players.
