Registrations

All players are to register online using the Football Registration tab on this site. Registrations need to be completed online. You cannot submit the form until all questions are completed.

Players who are playing for clubs are asked to register in the NPGHS Football sporty registration as well. We can link with Central Football regards instances of duel registration.

Subscription Fees

Once you have submitted your registration form, you must pay your subscription fee.  This can be paid either online into the school account or to Student Services where you can pay with cash, eftpos or automatic payment (you will need to get a form to set up this option).  

Fees help pay for costs such as affiliation to NZ Football and Central Football, referees, team entries, uniform replacement, equipment and administration. 

Subscription fees are due before the first game is played.  We have a no pay, no play policy.  Uniforms will not be issued to any player until her fees are paid.

Fees for 2026 (per player) are:

  • $110 for all players  (reduced to $70 for players who play for a club and will be already affiliated to Central Football)

For online payments - Our School Bank Account:   15 3953 0478234 00                                                                                                                           Particulars:  Player initials and Surname     Reference:   Football​​​​​​​

Uniforms

Uniforms are provided and will be issued to each player. There is an expectation that the uniform is returned at the end of the season.

Communication

Trials

Trials for our 1st XI, 2nd XI and Junior A (Yr 9 & Yr 10) teams will be conducted in Term 1.

Trial Dates: To Be Confirmed

Wednesday Teams

Secondary school students who wish to play for their school play in the Taranaki Girls High School Wednesday League. The league has competitive and social divisions, with schools across Taranaki involved. Players are most welcome to make up their own team and this can be communicated via the registration form. Contact can be made also to Mr Chubb via email (achubb@npghs.school.nz) with a list of players they would like to play with.We ask that players indicate in the form who they would like to play with so they can be placed in a team with their listed friends.

Please note, even if choosing this option, players must still register individually using this site.

Uniform and Equipment

  • Players will be issued with a player kit which includes shorts and shirt.  Some teams also receive jackets.
  • Players are required to have their own set of navy socks to cover their shin guards. Boots are required for games.

Every item has a unique stocktake number that will be recorded upon issue.  Ensure that the item issued to your child is the item that is returned at the end of the season.  You cannot swap gear or get it mixed up with team mates as you are responsible for returning the item issued to your child (like a library book - your issued item is your responsiblity).  Unfortunately, you will be charged for lost items.

Uniform Management

Uniforms are returned at the end of the season to an assigned adult in each team.  That adult will check the uniform off against the team uniform issue list.  Once all issued uniform is accounted for, that adult will return the entire team set to the Sports Office.  

This is a simple role for a willing helper and could be your small way to give back to the team as a parent.  It alleviates a lot of time and stress from the Sports Department.   

If you are keen to assume the uniform managers role, please tick that option in the registration form.

Coaches and Managers

Parent / Sibling Coaches

​​​​​​​WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!

If you are interested in coaching or managing, PLEASE let us know.  We need coaches in order to have a successful season.  So please think about how you can help support your daughter.  Remember, if you coach, your daughter will not have to pay the Football fee.

We provide a selection of coaching resources that will assist with practices and games and can offer coaching courses to those who would like them.

We welcome student coaches and will assist them in their coaching role should they choose to undertake that challenge.  We also welcome older siblings, other family members or suitable friends as coaches.

If you are able to help in any way, please tick the appropriate option in the registration form. 

Sponsorship

If you or your business are able to help upgrade our uniforms or equipment, we would be extremely grateful.  Should you choose to sponsor a team, we can assure you that these will be worn by whatever team your daughter is in for the time that she plays Football at NPGHS.  

We are also able to offer other advantages that we can discuss with you and our school principal, Jacqui Brown.  If you can help with sponsorship, please contact Mrs Sam Vincent, Director of Sport (svincent@npghs.school.nz)

Refereeing

If you would like to learn to referee, we will help upskill referees, and pay referees for games.  Watch out for notices about this.
