WELCOME TO WELLINGTON COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Wellington College Football (WCF) is one of the largest junior clubs in the region and the biggest team sport at Wellington College, with 29 teams in 2024.
We provide teams for all levels of ability and ambition. We want all the students who play football at Wellington College, irrespective of the level they play at, to enjoy it. We encourage players to play for both school and club teams to avoid having to make 'decisions' and foster their love & enjoyment of the game.

- CSW Junior for Years 9 and 10
- CSW Year 11 for our non-streamed yr 11 teams
