Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve never played American flag football before and I don’t know the rules. Can I still join?

Whether you're completely new to the sport or have previous experience, we'd love to have you involved.

We offer programmes for players of all ages, including juniors, youth, seniors, masters, and women's teams. Our experienced coaches and players will teach you the rules, skills, and strategies of flag football in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.

No prior experience is required. Just come along to training with a positive attitude, suitable sporting attire, and a willingness to learn. Before long, you'll be catching passes, scoring touchdowns, and enjoying one of the fastest-growing sports in New Zealand.

Current playing opportunities include:

• Juniors (approximately 8-14 years)
• Youth (approximately 15-20 years)
• Senior Men and Women (18+ years)
• Masters Men (35+ years)

When and where are trainings?

Check out our social media pages for updates on training. All trainings are held at Vogeltown Park. If there is a change of location we will let everyone know. 

I don't own a football, can I still come to trainings?

Absolutely! We provide all the equipment needed for training and games, so you don't need to bring a football.

Just bring:

• A drink bottle
• Suitable sports shoes or boots
• Comfortable sporting attire appropriate for physical activity

Whether you're completely new to the sport or have played before, you're welcome to come along, give it a try, and meet the team. We cater for players of all skill levels and are always happy to welcome new faces to the Kraken family.

I’ve seen your amazing social media posts for a while now, is it too late to join?

Not at all. We are actively looking for new members for all of our programmes. Obviously, the sooner you join, the sooner you begin learning, so come on down.
