Juniors called 9th to 17th grades cover children and youth aged from 9 to 17 years.
Teams typically play home one week and away the next on Saturdays.
Competition is largely based in the North Harbour and West Auckland areas, although top teams in the 13th -17th grades may be entered in the all Auckland Metropolitan Leagues.
Trials will be conducted in February to assess player ability and team placement.
9TH AND 10TH GRADES: Teams play 7 a side, ½ size field, kick off usually 10am, playing 50mins. Home games are played at Stanmore Bay
11TH AND 12TH GRADES: Teams play 9 a side, ¾ size field, kick off 10am/11am or 12pm, playing 55mins. Home games are held at our ¾ pitches at Victor Eaves, Orewa.

Some “all girl” age group teams will be entered into the ‘Girls Leagues’. Participation is optional.
