Waimak United Football Club is pleased to welcome players, parents & supporters to the 2012 season.

Waimak United Junior Club Trials

All players intending to play junior football in the 2012 season are encouraged to attend their grade trials.  All players registered with the club in the registration period will be placed in a team at the clubs discretion, however by attending trials players have the best opportunity to be placed in the appropriately graded team.

Players are also encouraged to trial for their correct age group.  There are age dispensations available where coaches, and the Board, identify that playing above their age grade is necessary for the individuals player development.
The correct grade is based on the age a player is turning during 2012. 
ie player turning 12 in 2012 is 12th grade.
 
Notes: girls only grades play in 2 age group bands
ie 14th grade girls is for 13th & 14th grade girls. 
9th grade development is only for players turning 9. 
12th grade girls may include 10 year old girls as well as 11, & 12 year old girls.
18th grade boys may include 16th, 17th, & 18th grade boys.
18th girls may include 15-18th grade girls

Twilight Schools Competition
The Monday Primary Schools Twilight Football competition entry information has been sent to schools.  Ask your school if they are entering a team.
This is a popular competition with each agegroup usually having several divisions after grading.  However you may be aware that not all schools enter teams into this competition.   Often this is because they need a bit of help managing it.
Schools are only required to have a manager for each team to run the subs.
The club provides the balls, bibs, goals, and referees. 
So if you would like to get your school involved why not contact them and offer to manage the team.  They could win a football prizepack for their school!
