Welcome to the

Junior Football

Junior Football at Parklands United is well catered for with teams from 10th to 13th 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 11th & 13th Grade.

For players playing in the 10th and 11th Grade teams, places will automatically be allocated, using existing teams from 2025 as a guideline.

Players playing in the 12th & 13th Grade are selected through Team Allocation days which will take place at Broadhaven Reserve with times and dates to be confirmed:

Junior Football - 7v7 format

  • 10th grade (players born 2016)
  • 11th grade (players born 2015)
  • 11th grade Girls (players born 2015/2016)

Junior Football - 9v9 format

  • 12th grade (players born 2014)
  • 13th grade (players born 2013)
  • 13th grade Girls (players born 2013/2014)

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.
