Teams:
We put all players into small teams of between about 5 to 8 players at the start of the season. We like to place the players with their friends or kids from the same school. If you wish to request your child to be with another please email the committee.
Trainings:
We like to hold one training a week for these teams. The coach for each team will organise a training session aimed at developing a wide range of skills and abilities, such as dribbling, shooting, passing and general movement and balance. They are designed to be fun, using variations on games like bull rush, tag, and stuck in the mud to emphasise and develop certain skills.
Coaching
Trainings are organised by the coach who is generally a parent, therefore if you feel you would like to volunteer we would love to hear from you. Please email the club for information:
The club and capital football provide information and courses to assist you.
Game day:
On Saturdays, teams play against other Wainui teams in 5v5 games across the river at Richard Prouse Park. Teams generally begin with a brief skills session to warm up and then play play three 12 minute games. Please ensure you arrive 15 minutes before kick-off.
"Festival Weekend"
This is the weekend all the kids look forward to!
Capital football hold a festival every third weekend where the teams play other clubs.
The tournaments are held around the Hutt Valley, meaning that games may be at locations around the Hutt Valley.
If training or game day is cancelled you will receive a TX from your child's coach.
Refereeing
Saturday games need to be refereed by a parent or other volunteer. Refereeing courses are available to those interested in upskilling.
Please be respectful at all times to the Referees, volunteers and most importantly the player's!
