We believe in getting our young players off to the very best start possible. Our Coached sessions are overseen by Director of Football, Juan Chang, and delivered by NZF-qualified coaches and top-level players.

Players born 2015 & 2016 take part in our Fun Football programme
In Term 1, players born in 2014 took part in a bespoke programme designed to help prepare for the Winter Season ahead. Our Junior Football programme page has all the details, and Winter Season registrations are now open!

Our aim is for every player to get lots of touches on the ball, to practice the core skills that are key to becoming effective footballers – and to have loads of fun!
- All sessions take place on the fabulous all-weather pitch at English Park
- There is a separate First Kicks session for our youngest (4-year-old) players
- Players are placed into teams and allocated a regular coach
- Wherever possible we play girls in 'Girls Only' sessions
- Every week players take part in three fun activities and play some ‘small sided’ games (3- or 4-a-side)
These super-popular sessions sell out long before the start of term, so register today!
