Girls have the option of playing football in mixed teams (boys and girls) or girls only teams.
Onslow has a significant number of girls playing in GOSL teams.
This year these teams will be offered from grades Under 9 to Under 15. The focus is on participation, development and fun.
GOSL teams play in dual banded grades within the Capital Football competition, e.g. Under 9 comprises of Under 8s and Under 9s. We try our best to group girls within their age group and ensure they have nominated friends in their teams. GOSL teams generally stay together through the younger age grades so form a strong team bond.
In 2026 we will introduce the Youth Ready Programme (YRP) for all footballers in the Under 13 grade. The Girls Only YRP team will be formed based on player ID sessions and will be entered in the uppermost pool of the U13 Girls grade.
The same Onslow uniform applies to GOSL.
Any questions please contact the GOSL grade coordinator at juniorgirls@onslow.org.nz.
Girls are welcome to play their football in GOSL or in a Mixed (girls + boys) team. Some girls play both. Mixed teams are formed based on players’ year of birth, girls have the option of playing in their own age group, or down one year. As a club we welcome all girls who wish to play Mixed grade football – it offers development opportunities for all members of the team.
See the grade information for more information on each of the age grades. The GOSL and Mixed regulations are the same.
Onslow offers Girls Only Player Development Programme activities both in-season and during the off-season. This includes group training, goal keeper training and holiday programmes with girls only.
If you’ve got young girls wanting to give football a go, in a FUN and SAFE environment, MILO Fantails is the programme for you!
MILO Fantails is a programme designed to attract new female players to the beautiful game – Onslow will be offering this for girls aged 7-10 years. Sessions are focused on helping girls make friends, having fun, improving their skills and being active through football.
