Our Aim
Tawa AFC aims to provide football opportunities for players from 14-17 years of age.
Our aim is to provide playing environments for youth footballers to develop and realise their potential not only as players but as young adults. We seek to provide players with as many opportunities to strike the balance between competitive play, and developing long-lasting social bonds within their local community.
We achieve this by putting a focus on environments that will promote teamwork, self-improvement and enjoyment as a foundation for performance, which we believe will foster a life-long love for the game of football.
Tawa AFC has a strong focus on our local community and player welfare, and we work closely with local schools to ensure that the needs of our players are being met.
Teams in the U14, U15, and U17 grades will be dependent on registration numbers, but we are hoping to have representation across all of these grades in the 2026 season.
