Junior Football at Parklands United is well catered for with teams from 9th to 12th grade as players progress from 1st Kicks and Fun Football into playing in the Mainland Football Competition.
We have mixed grade teams in most age groups playing in both "social" & "competitive" divisions. We also offer girls only football with option of girls teams at 10th & 12th Grade.
For players playing in the 9th and 10th Grade teams, places will automatically be allocated.
Players playing in the 11th & 12th Grade are selected through Team Allocation days which will take place as below at Broadhaven Reserve:
We will look to confirm teams by Friday 21st March for the upcoming season.
All of the Parklands United coaches are volunteers, which means we are a genuine club not a part time business. The theme for Parklands junior and youth football is "To Be the Best You Can Be". This applies to players, coaches, officials and supporters.
Coaches are encouraged to undertake NZF coaching courses with similar support given to anyone wishing to become a referee.

Cancellations usually occur with rain, keep an eye out on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/parklandsfootball for cancellations.
Shin Pads
Shin pads are required, especially for contact drills and games.
Boots
Required, especially as it gets wetter, to prevent slipping. The ground can be very hard earlier in the season so we'll let you choose between shoes and boots at this time.
Rebel Sport or Frontrunner are your best options for boots
Shirts
Club playing shirt is required by all players. Players requiring new shirts can purchase these from our club gear night (tbc) for $50 new or other team members may have secondhand shirts available that can be purchased.
Shorts and Socks
Players are required to wear black shorts and socks.
McCracken Sports in New Brighton is a good local supplier or they can be purchased from other sports suppliers such as Rebel Sports
TEAMS
9th & 10th Grade teams are picked at random with returning players generally assigned to their previous team. 11th & 12th Grade teams are selected through Team Allocation days that are run prior to the season commencing. Players are then placed in teams alongside players of similar abilities.
COACHING
We rely on parents/caregivers/volunteers to coach our teams. If you'd love to give it a try, reach out to us, we can help guide you on your coaching journey.
