WELCOME TO WELLINGTON COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Wellington College Football (WCF) is one of the largest junior & youth clubs in the region and the biggest team sport at Wellington College, with 31 teams playing in 2025.
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 and enjoyment of the game.
Wellington College football teams compete in competitions run by College Sport Wellington (CSW):
CSW Junior for Years 9 and 10
CSW Year 11 for our non-streamed Year 11 teams
CSW Youth for Years 11(streamed), 12 and 13
At the competitive end of the scale, the WC 1st XI competes for the Trevor Rigby Cup in the CSW Premier Youth Grade (PYG). They play in four traditional fixtures, a pre-season Quad tournament, and expect to qualify for the NZSS National Football Tournament held each year.
The 2nd XI is traditionally a very strong team and plays in the CSW Premier Reserve Grade and competes at the NZSS National 2nd XI Tournament.
The Yr 11 1st XI were the WC Football Team of the year - playing in and winning the CSW Premier Reserve title against 1st XIs from other schools.
Th Junior A side plays for the Vaughn Coveny Cup and takes part in the NZSS National Junior Tournament.
