When will I find out what team my child is in?

  • Teams will be formed as quickly as possible after Registration has closed. Grade Coordinators will email team member information to each family within your team.

I would like my child/ren to play in a team with their friends.  Is this possible?

  • As part of the registration process, you are able to list friends that your child would like to play with.  As much as possible we will try to accommodate your requests however this is not guaranteed.  OJFC acknowledges that children enjoy playing with their friends so we do try to place friends and children from the same school in teams together.

Where can I find information about relating to my child’s football grade?

What is the OJFC uniform and where can I get it from?

  • OJFC’s uniform is red shorts and red socks with green tops.  These can be purchased new from Football Central.  We do not have a second hand uniform sale, but please keep an eye out on Trade Me and other local Buy & Sell websites.
  • A team shirt will be provided at the start of the season and is returned at season close.
  • Shin pads are compulsory and are available from Football Central and other sporting goods suppliers.  Boots are compulsory from grades 7 and above but are highly recommended for First Kicks as the fields can get a little muddy later in the season.
  • Onslow Beanies can also be purchased from Football Central.

Can my child play in a different Grade?

  • The NZ Football national body expects all children to play in the correct grade based on their year of birth.  OJFC abides by this policy.  Only in very extraordinary circumstances will we consider allowing a child to play in a different grade.  If you wish to discuss this further, please contact registrations@onslow.org.nz
  • Starting in 2022, there is now potential for children in grades U7 and U8 only to play up or down half an age grade to join a team with their school friends. Please have a look at the Fun Football page for more information.
  • Please note that female players are able to choose to play one grade down.

Where will my child be playing?

  • Age group Location
    First Kicks 5 to 6 year olds Raroa Intermediate
    Fun Football 7 to 8 year olds Raroa Park
