Fun Football for Boys and Girls 7-8 years
(Birth years 2017 & 2018)
Season starts...
Fun Football is the programme we run for our 7-8 year olds (birth years 2018 & 2019). It is a great introduction and skill building programme preparing children to join our teams in the coming years.There are 2 x 1 hour sessions per week where players split into smaller groups and rotate around various drills and activities, learning and practising their new skills, before spending the latter half of their session playing mini games against one another.
Time and place
Ken Maunder Park on Binsted road in New Lynn is our home ground, fun football is always at Ken Maunder park. Fun Football is on Thursday nights at 6pm in front of the clubrooms and on Saturday mornings at 9am out in the middle of the fields between the 2 cricket pitches, please arrive 10 minutes early so you are ready to go at start time.
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 fun football. Once you are attending regularly you should also have your child start wearing the uniform (as outlined below).
Who is in charge
Coach Andrew is the leader of our fun football group this year but he needs parent volunteers to help him run the show, so please support him by lending a hand when he asks for volunteers, he will have done all the thinking for you and will just hand you a card with some kind of drill or game to run with your small group of children, you do not need to have football experience to be able to lend a hand.

Registration and Fees
Fun Football – $120
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.
