WHAT WE OFFER 

Takaro AFC provides a range of football opportunities

JUNIOR FOOTBALL

Takaro AFC follows NZ Football’s Whole Of Football programme, starting at the youngest players and going through to the older and most experienced.

This starts with First Kicks (3-6 years), followed by Fun Football (7-8 years), and on to Mini Football (9-12 years).  After this Youth Football (13-18 years) begins, where some players play for their Secondary School while others play for their club.  Senior football is for everyone who is aged 16 years and older.

SENIOR FOOTBALL

SENIOR football follows on from Junior and Youth football.

Takaro AFC offers a range of teams for players who want to play competitive football against the best Manawatu has to offer through to players who simply want a social kick-around.

We have a long and proud history of Senior football in the Manawatu.  If you are keen to play, we will have a place for you.

Contact our Senior Club Captain if you want more information about joining a Senior team.

COACHING

COACHES are a vital part of making football a success.  We need quality coaches at all levels of the game.

Junior football coaches do not need to be experienced or knowledgeable as NZ Football has a fantastic programme that you can slip into.

Senior football coaches play a vital role in the success of our player development and team results.

REFEREEING

REFEREES play an important role in football.  Whether the match be Juniors, Youth, or Seniors, referees are required to provide fair and safe footballing for all players.

Community Based Referees play a vital role in bridging the gap for leagues where not enough referees are available.  CBRs are often players or supporters who step up and referee matches when available and/or required.

Keen to develop your knowledge of football and to referee when required?  Contact our Referee Officer for more information.
