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 have now taken place.
We will look to confirm teams by Friday 22nd 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.

CELEBRATE
AWARDS

GATHER
Teams and parents gather for the all important aftermatch. A great chance to engage with other families in the community.
INFORMATION
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. These will be given out to players upon full payment of subs for new players.
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.
