Children turning 11 in the calendar year will be in the Under 11s grade. Girls turning 12 will also have the option to play in Under 11s if playing in a mixed team.
Players are allocated into teams which they will remain in for the duration of the season.
Format
Games are 7-a-side, including a goalkeeper, and are played with a size 4 ball.
Competition matches are played on Saturdays, with each team playing 1 x 50 minute game. Teams can be re-graded over the course of the season to ensure they are playing against other sides at a similar level to themselves.
Teams will also have mid-week training, either at Grenada North Park, or another local venue.
Regional League
Under 11s is the first age grade in which Regional Leagues are introduced. Tawa AFC will enter either 1 or 2 teams into the Regional League, with remaining teams playing in the local Wellington/Western League. Regional teams are for players who would like to play at a more competitive level but, as the name suggests, do involve more travel e.g Hutt Valley, Kapiti. You will have the option when registering for U11s to indicate whether you would like your child to be considered for selection in a regional team.
