First Kicks for Boys and Girls 4-6 years
(Birth years 2020 & younger)
Season starts...
Hello to all First Kickers, Parents & Caregivers
We hope you're all looking forward to another fun-filled season of First Kicks (Little League) at Lynn-Avon. The club would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new little soccer stars and their parents and caregivers.
The First Kicks programme is a gentle, non-threatening way to introduce your child to the sport of soccer.
The programme will show your child basic soccer skills and give them some time in the hour to have a fun game of soccer.
First kicks football is for our youngest members of 4 to 6 years old. It has been developed to introduce young players to the essential skills of football. Its during these early years having fun and creating friends that they fall in love with the game.
At LAU we follow the Whole of Football program and NZF Junior Framework outlined by New Zealand Football. Both program booklets can be read by clicking on the below links.

Time and place
Ken Maunder Park on Binsted road in New Lynn is our home ground, First Kicks is at Ken Maunder park on the pitch right in front of the clubrooms on Saturday mornings at 9am, please arrive 10 minutes early so you are ready to go at start time.
Every effort is made to ensure First Kicks takes place every Saturday rain or shine. You can check our facebook page if your in doubt about whether it will go ahead because of the weather. If the weather is really bad, the fields may be closed and Facebook is where this will be communicated.
What do I need to bring
You can bring a football if you want to but there are plenty of footballs provided at the park. If you bring your own football please make sure it is named so it doesn't get mixed in with the club balls. If your child is pedantic about keeping their own ball it might be best to leave it at home as it is easy for the balls to get mixed up and for another child unknowingly to snaffle up a loose ball.
Please arrive in football boots and shin guards and with a water bottle. If you are just coming for your first session or a trial and don’t have boots and shin guards yet please wear running shoes and thick socks to protect your child's shins as best as possible. It is at their risk that they are not wearing shin guards and these should be purchased at the earliest convenience if you decide to join First Kicks. Once you are attending regularly you should also have your child start wearing the uniform (as outlined below).

Registration and Fees
First Kicks Fees – $90
Please click the "Register Now" button to sign up. We have moved to a new registration platform this year, so all members will need to complete the full form. Please ensure all details are entered correctly, especially birth dates.
Junior and youth fees are due at the time of registration. As a volunteer-run club, following up on unpaid balances takes a significant amount of time and effort so paying upon registration lightens the load for us.
However we do not want this to be a barrier to people playing football so if you would like to set up a payment plan, please feel free to contact us directly and we are happy to arrange this with you.
