The Winter Season starts on late April and finishes on mid September.
Players are placed into teams and play against other clubs in the Mainland Junior Football competition.
FC Twenty 11 provides two different pathways for our members:
Club Programme: This programme is aimed at children who wish to play for FUN with friends and/or wish to train once a week in addition to the Saturday game day.
Development Programme: This programme is aimed at children who are committed to training twice a week with qualified coaches in addition to the Saturday game day.
In this programme our players train once a week and have a game day on a Saturday morning. Players may request to play in the same team with their friends. Where we can accommodate this, we will. Players who wish to be part of this programme are not required to attend Team Allocation sessions.
As of 2023, FC Twenty 11 will offer combined club training sessions for the players in each of our 9th to 12th Grades club teams. The sessions will be run by a qualified club coach in conjunction with the team volunteer coach (parent coach); and will have an additional one-off cost of $40 for the season (based on $2 per training)
Parent Involvement: Once players are allocated a team, a volunteer game day coach, referee and manager will be required from amongst the players’ parents/caregivers. All Saturday games are coached, managed, and refereed by volunteers! The club will provide training and support for all team officials, including the offering of NZF Youth Level 1 Coaching and Community Referee Courses.

Parents, caregivers, or supporters are required as team coaches, managers & referees for our Junior club teams. All Junior Saturday games are coached, managed, and refereed by volunteers!
FC Twenty 11 has been going through a sustained period of growth over the last few years. The biggest strain that this puts on us is in the area of finding enough coaches or managers and once we have done that, ensuring that they are adequately prepared. Some of our coaches/managers are parents who may never have played football before. To support these dedicated volunteers, we do and will continue to run, both in-house and external coaching courses. Our Director of Football, Tsetso, is available to support and resource coaches.
If you are a parent or past player who has flirted with the idea of coaching a team – please give it a try! It is a truly rewarding experience.
