Term 4 Junior & Youth Programmes
Term 4 First Kicks and Fun Football is over here >>
Five-a-Side
Get into the SASFC 5s League!
Running throughout the summer terms at St Albans Park on Monday afternoons, we are inviting teams to take part in our low-cost, in-house Five-a-Side league.
Initially there will be 9th/10th Grade and 11th/12th Grade leagues, but this may well be expanded, depending on team numbers. Girs-only teams are welcomed too!
We encourage the registration of entire teams, but you can also join a team as an individual player. Don't be shy, these are great fun, friendly games and you'll soon feel right at home!
Your team should ideally have at least 8 players, to allow for subs and absences. The cost per team for the entire term is $250 – for most teams that's likely to work out at around $30 per player, or just a couple of bucks a game!
Term 4 dates are as follows:
6th October to 8th December 2025 (10 Weeks – no games Labour Weekend)
Kick off times: 9th & 10th Grade 4pm – 11th & 12th Grade 5pm
Junior Plus & Youth Training
Winter Season Skill Training is getting a summer boost!

- 9th Grade & 10th Grade
- 11th Grade & 12th Grade
- Girls 10th Grade & 12th Grade
- 13th Grade & 14th Grade
- 14th Grade Girls
Fun, fast-paced sessions and expert coaching tailored to you and your age group means fun, confidence-boosting team play is the order of the day!
We have a range of new drills and exercises to test your skills and keep your fitness and focus as sharp as possible. This programme is open to everyone – no trials, no pressure! – just football fun and serious skill-building. Sign up today!

Excel Football Development
This is not just training, it's transformation.
The SASFC Excel Development Programme is a potential game-changer for aspiring footballers.
We've taken our regular Blue and Navy team Winter Season training and given it a level-up. Not just sharpening individual skills; we're aiming to hone them to a whole new cutting edge. Using both summer terms to build a solid platform for our top players will make sure they really hit the ground running next season.
The programme is focussed on the following football fundamentals:
- Ball mastery, agility and coordination
- Game intelligence & decision-making
- Movement and mechanics
If you were part of a Blue or Navy team this year and want to take that experience to a new level, this is the programme for you. Places are strictly limited to keep the coach-to-player ratio as low as possible.
Get signed up today to be sure of your place!
4pm–5pm every Tuesday at St Albans Park
Cost per player: $85 / 11-week programme
First session: Tuesday 7th October at 4pm
Futsal
The indoor game is BACK!
Futsal is the indoor version of 5-a Side and is the best sport for developing aspiring young footballers. It is by far the most effective way of promoting core abilities:
- individual ball skills, close control and dribbling
- creativity, improvisation and accurate shooting
- ball possession and ground-level, one-touch passing
- teamwork and off-the-ball movement
and was the sport that drove the success of huge football names like Pele, Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi...
SASFC Futsal Training takes place on Thursdays in Term 4 at St Albans Park and we are looking for expressions of interest from SASFC players to join in competitive teams that will play on Sundays at Ngā Puna Wai.
This isn’t just about weekly matches—it’s the beginning of a bold journey toward the Gold Coast International Futsal Tournament in early 2027. We're looking to build committed, high-performance teams with all eyes focussed on the big stage, and we want driven players who are ready to train hard and dream big.
If that sounds like you, send your expression of interest to futsal@sasfootball.club. Our coaching team are running a selection process to ensure each team is strong, balanced, and tournament-ready.
Let’s build something extraordinary—starting this coming Term 4 2025! Get in touch today!
