Marist teams are entered into the local Whangarei mini-football competition, which is played on a Saturday morning, normally at 8.30am - 10.30am.  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.
