Fun Football is a fun and friendly environment providing a step up from the First Kicks. The Fun Football experience is filled with many new and exciting challenges. Players are provided with more game-specific activities, which offers fun and excitement throughout the season.

Each session focuses on General movement, Football technique, Football Coordination, and a small-sided football game in line with the Whole of Football Plan from NZ Football.
