MARIST YOUTH FOOTBALL PROGRAMME FOR AGES 13+

The Youth football programme is a further development phase with continued focus on football movement and technical capability. 

Grade 13 uses a 9 v 9 playing format, while all other grades in this programme play 11 v 11 aside and use Full sized fields and goals. 

Grade 13 size 4 ball, all other grades size 5 ball.  Grade 13 play for 1 x 60 minute game, and then each grade up plays an additional 10 minutes i.e. G14 = 70 minutes G15 = 80 minutes G16 = 90 minutes.

Graded divisional system.  Local draw based on teams entered.

Marist teams are entered into the local Whangarei youth-football competition, which is played on a Saturday morning, normally at 9am - 12.30pm.  There are normally several divisions within each grade so care is taken to ensure teams are entered at an appropriate playing level.  Competitions always commence with a grading phase which again aims to get teams at similar levels into the correct divisions.  

Marist Football home ground is Kensington Park, and may have to travel throughout the region depending on teams that enter the competition.

Marist Football teams in this programme normally practice once a week at Kensington.
