Can I play with my friends?

Yes! At junior level (9th-12th grade) we will try our best to accommodate any player requests to play with friends, for a certain coach or team. 

Youth football (grades 13 to 19) is a step up from junior football, with full-sized fields and goals and 11 player a-side games. Youth squad teams consist of 16-18 players.

There are two types of teams in our Youth grades:

• Community Youth teams: for players who prefer to play a more social level of football and are not selected for the Championship teams, our Community Youth teams play on Saturday morning/afternoon. Grading games begin at the start of the season and players will be placed in a league that will deliver the best level of competition in a fun environment. These teams will typically train once a week and be coached by team volunteer coaches.
  
  

• Championship teams: players are selected for the Championship teams and for the top teams for each youth grade. Players train 2 times a week and are coached by a NZF qualified coach, which comes at an additional cost for players. Players selected for the 2024 Championship teams will also play against other clubs' top teams in the NRF leagues on Sundays.
