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)
