MAYCENVALE JUNIOR FOOTBALL

Maycenvale is proud to have an exceptional junior football club that comprises teams across various age categories, showcasing the incredible talent of our youth. This success is largely due to the dedication of numerous parents and volunteers, who have played a significant role in enabling our juniors to consistently excel in competitions across different age brackets.

At Maycenvale, we are committed to nurturing young talent in the local football scene, and our efforts have been unwavering in this regard. Thanks to the support from Hastings Mitre 10 Mega Store, our junior football programs have witnessed significant growth, accommodating players from the ages of 5 to 13 years, ensuring there's a perfect fit for children of all ages.

The junior football season begins the first weekend of May and continues until the latter part of August. Most teams' training sessions begin in April, and their schedules are determined by their respective coaches.
