Following the recent change to online courses for the Introductory Refereeing qualification, Capital Football have recognised the need to provide an opportunity for referees to engage with other referees and discuss the laws of the game, playing regulations and how to manage a game in the community space.
We encourage all of our Junior and Youth referees to partake in this opportunity if you can.
When: Monday 29th July, 6.30pm – 8.00pm
Where: Capital Football, Memorial Park (Bracken St), Petone.
Cost: FREE

We all have a role to play in keeping our young footballers safe.
New concussion guidelines from ACC have come into effect at the start of the 2024 winter sports season.
These are designed to improve the health outcomes and wellbeing for all people who play community sport by introducing a standardised approach to managing concussion.
Please familiarise yourself with them and know where to find them for future reference.
We will store these images and links in our Team Toolkit area (under the Coach and Referee resources menu).

For all new Fun Football Coaches
What we have previously known as the Introduction to Junior Coaching has been renamed by NZF to “Fun-damentals of Junior Coaching“. This course is targeted for Fun Football Coaches (First Kicks, U7 and U8 grades). If you are coaching in other grades and have not completed this course then you will still find it valuable as a foundation before moving to higher coaching awards. Onslow Junior Football Club expects all of its Coaches to have completed this course once and are offering an opportunity to complete the practical component “in-house”.
This is an informative course facilitated by Capital Football, aiming to enable Coaches with skills to organise a safe and fun football session that players will not only enjoy, but learn from too. This practical course runs in conjunction with an online component.
Content covered:
If you have signed up to Coach this season, or just thinking about it, then you will need to complete this course.

Join us to find out more information about the upcoming season
Please join us on Wednesday 10th April (7:30pm), at Crofton Downs Primary School for an overview of the upcoming football season. The session is designed to give you the information you’ll need to get on with your season.
Our Fun Football Grades (FK, U7, U8) will get into the nuts and bolts of what to expect each session – how it will run, where it is held, what you will need, how you can help. We will also discuss why we run the sessions the way we do.
Our Mini and Youth Football Grades (U9 – U15) will go over some basics of the season ahead – weekly games, practices, participating as player, volunteer, spectator…and plenty more!
There will be an opportunity for Q + A at each session.
The evening will be facilitated by our Club Captain, Justin Snarski, along with help from our Grade Coordinators.
Please RSVP your intent to attend, by emailing your Grade Coordinator.
