Children turning 8 in the calendar year will be in Under 8s and those turning 9 in the calendar year will be in Under 9s. Girls playing in a mixed team can also play down an age grade if they would like.
Players are allocated into teams which they will remain in for the duration of the season. The idea is to have teams that are evenly balanced, whilst also allowing children to play with their friends where possible.
Our Aim
Fun Football focuses on increasing the skills of the players and their enjoyment of the game. Skills include general movement and coordination, football technique and football coordination. The small sided games allow children to practice these skills in a team situation getting lots of touches on the ball in each game.
Format
Games are 5-a-side, including a goalkeeper, and are played with a size 4 ball.
Fun Football is always played on a Saturday morning, and will include a combination of club sessions at Grenada North Park, inter-club days involving teams from Tawa and another local club, and 'Festival rounds' hosted by a nearby club (Western Suburbs or Onslow) where teams will play 3 x 15 min matches against sides from other clubs. The exact schedule will be communicated at the start of the season.
Teams will also have a mid-week training session.
