Coaching
We rely on parent coaches, so if you are keen, make sure you let us know. We provide all coaches everything they need to run the Saturday morning session, including weekly skills sessions with video tutorials.

U13 - U19 (Boys & Girls)

Our teams play in the Western Bay of Plenty leagues on Saturday mornings during Terms 2 & 3 in WaiBOP facilitated leagues. Some travel is required to opposition clubs.
All Youth teams play 11v11 with rolling subs.
Fixtures, Results and Scores are available on the WaiBOP website. 

Players aged 16+ can also play Senior Football.

Forming Teams

When forming teams, we do try our best to group friends together, but this isn't always possible.  Registrations after the closing date will have less chance of any requests being met.

We try to meet all requests, however this can't always work and can be quite complex to meet everyones request such as:

• Players requests don't match up.
• e.g. Player 1 wants to play with Player 2, 3, 4 but Player 3, 4 want to play with Player 5 who is already in a team with 6, 7, 8. 
• Game-day formations changing.
• e.g. Last season you may have played 7v7, but your age group now plays 9v9. This means squad sizes need to increase, and players moved around.
• When you have requested to play in a team where all players from last season are keen to try and stay together, there isn't room for more players.
