PLAYING IN-HOUSE AT BBAFC
Our In-house Football Programme is for ages 5 to 12yrs who wish to play at Lloyd Elsmore Park on a Saturday morning.
The In-house competition is a competition between other BBAFC teams so there is no traveling involved. You can play with your mates, make up a team and have some fun.
See the NRF Page for information on traveling teams.
FORMAT:
All games are played on a Saturday morning at Lloyd Elsmore Park. The format for 5-8 year olds, sees players placed in a team for the year. A typical Saturday morning will consist of skills based drills in alignment with NZF (New Zealand Football) Junior Football Framework and finish with a fun game between teams. These are made up to teams of 6 and play 4 x 4 format. There will typically be 30 minute skills and then a 24 minute game of 12 minute halves.
Teams in the 9th, 10th and combined 11th/12th grade, also meet at Lloyd Elsmore and play one game against another BBAFC In-house team. The players in 9th and 10th grade will play 7 aside on a 1/4 pitch. 11th and 12th grade will play 9 aside on a 1/2 pitch. All games will be 50 minutes.
Teams can be mixed with boys and girls, or full girls team (which we find in most cases preferable), and the full girls team play down a grade in an attempt to make the teams as even in competition as possible, however at this age the emphasis is placed on having fun.
