Summer League

Our goal for this league is to foster a fun and friendly environment for everyone involved. It is not intended to be a competition, but rather an opportunity for children to enjoy time with their friends or try a new sport.  That said, some of our older teams thrive in a more competitive setting, so we will adjust the structure of some draws to accommodate all teams.

Term 1 is running every Wednesday from the 5th March to 9th April on our top fields at Waipuna Park.

Year 0 (four-year-olds only round) will play at 3:00pm.  The game will consist of two 12-minute halves with a 6-minute half-time break.  Each team will have four players on the field, with no goalie.  The maximum number of players per team is 7.

Years 1 & 2 will play at 3:30pm.  The game will consist of two 12-minute halves with a 6-minute half-time break.  Each team will have four players on the field, with no goalie.  The maximum number of players per team is 7.

Years 3 & 4 will play at 4:00pm.  The game will consist of two 20-minute halves with a 5-minute break.  Each team will have five players on the field, including a goalie, with no more than 8 players per team.

Years 5 & 6 will play at 4:45pm.  The game will consist of two 20-minute halves with a 5-minute break.  Each team will have five players on the field, including a goalie, with no more than 8 players per team.

Years 7 & 8 and 9 & 10 will either play at 4:45pm or 5:30pm (depending on how many Year 5 & 6 teams enter).  This age group will play two 20-minute halves with a 5-minute break.  Each team will have five players on the field, including a goalie, with no more than 8 players per team.

The cost is $120.00 per team (Term One 2025 has an introductory price of $100.00 per team for the four-year-old group).  Individuals placed in a Waipuna team will be required to pay $25.00 each (again a T1 2025 introductory price of $20.00 per four year old).  Waipuna FC will invoice the schools and individuals that have submitted their registrations via email, while those who register online will receive an invoice directly from our system.

Teams can be registered through the schools.  If you have a team you would like to register for our upcoming Summer League please register this team below.

Individual players — those whose school does not enter a team into our league or for 4-year-olds wanting to be placed into a Waipuna team — please email your child’s full name, date of birth, and the school they attend to admin@waipunafc.co.nz.

If the fields are not already set up, we kindly ask our teams to set up their fields (by placing a goal down one end of your playing field).  Years 1 & 2 and Years 7+ (who are the last to play on their fields) are asked to pack down their fields.

Don’t forget to bring plenty of water and sunscreen as the days get warmer.

Draws will be posted weekly on our Facebook page.

If you would like to read the full information booklet, please feel free to email admin@waipunafc.co.nz, and we will be happy to send it to you.
