Onslow have the most junior girls’ teams in the Wellington region with 150+ girls playing football on a Sunday in every grade (7-14). The focus is on participation rather than competition particularly in the younger grades, but as the grades progress the standard of the opposition and club rivalries increase.
For the Girls Only Sunday League (GOSL) there are no trials for teams. GOSL teams generally stay together through the younger age grades so form a strong team bond. Throughout the season teams may be graded within their age group. With the introduction on the of Talent Development Program (TDP) in 2019 which is jointly run by Onslow and North Wellington for Grade 12 and above there may be some TDP driven teams entered in the older grades (U13 and U14).
See the grade information for more information on each of the age grades. The GOSL and Mixed regulations are the same.
Girls can also choose to play in the Saturday mixed league competitions as well as GOSL. Saturday mixed football maybe suitable for girls who want to challenge themselves that little bit further.
The GOSL leagues have the artificial turfs almost exclusively to themselves on Sundays. Most games will be scheduled at Wakefield Park Turf (Island Bay), Te Whaea Turf (Newtown), Nairnville Park Turf or Terawhiti Turf (Karori). There is a one off annual $10 turf fee which goes directly to Capital football for ALL Sunday games being played on turf. Cancellations on the turf grounds are very unlikely so we get more games per season than the Saturday mixed grades that play on grass as well as the turf.
The same Onslow uniform applies to GOSL.
Any questions please contact the GOSL coordinator at GOSL@onslow.org.nz.
