At the end of the season Motueka AFC holds a prize-giving for the Juniors and one for the Seniors.

Every Summer there is a 'summer football league' which usually runs from October – February with just a couple of weeks off over Christmas and New Year.

Where

Our home ground for all Junior and Youth games is usually Goodman Reserve next to Motueka Recreation Centre – your coach will confirm the venue and times with you.

Seniors play their games at Memorial Park, Pah Street.

Away games vary from Golden Bay to Nelson – each team will talk about car sharing for away games as needed.

What gear do I need? 

Junior & Youth players need to have their own black shorts and own yellow socks (buy via your coach) as well as shin pads and boots (non-metal studs).  Always make sure you bring a big bottle of water!  Don’t forget if it’s a cold start to grab something warm as you leave the house, and you can wear a thermal under your shirt when you play if you run cold or play early.  Bring nutritious snacks such as bananas and muesli bars.  Teams usually arrange half time oranges between themselves.

Who to contact if I have any concerns or questions

The first port of call should be your coach and he/she will usually be able to help or know who at the club can help.  If you prefer to contact someone on the Committee directly about any matter at all, please contact motuekafootball@gmail.com. 

Family involvement

Please encourage friends and family to come and watch your games.  Any of the other grade teams will always be happy to have extra support on the sidelines and see some friendly faces so don’t feel shy if you want to watch their games, or go along and watch the seniors play too.  Anyone interested in helping with Refereeing or being 'linesman', please talk to the coach. This is usually much appreciated.
