These games formed part of the Watford and London International Festival of Football, held annually at Parmiter's School in Watford. The Reading Under-12 team for the 2001/02 season took part in the section of the tournament described as "Pro Youth Under-11". The reason for the apparent discrepancy in ages is that the cut-off date for Academy football is 31st August, whilst this tournament took place in July.
There were thirteen teams, split into two groups of four and one of five for games in the morning. Matches were played over fifteen minutes each way. Reading were in Group A. The final table was as follows:
| P | W | D | L | F | A | GD | Pts | |
| Arsenal | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 2 | +8 | 9 |
| Reading | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 4 | +1 | 4 |
| Queens Park Rangers | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 7 | -2 | 3 |
| Birmingham City | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 9 | -7 | 1 |
In the afternoon, Reading played in a second group involving the three second placed teams from the initial three groups.
| P | W | D | L | F | A | GD | Pts | |
| Wimbledon | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 2 | +4 | 3 |
| Luton Town | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 3 |
| Reading | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 5 | -4 | 3 |
This means that in some sense we came sixth in the competition (out of thirteen teams).
