A community football club in Māngere East that runs teams for players from age 3.5 upwards, in a pathway that works with Manukau United FC. The clubs say they work together, by community and for community, and that their volunteer committees plan for teams and communities of many kinds. The club centres the principle of mana in its relationships, and says its diversity is its strength.
Training and registration nights are held on Wednesdays at 5pm at Walter Massey Park, and the website says all are welcome, both returning and new players. Players from four years old and up are invited to come along. Muster nights are held for sign-ups before the season begins. Volunteers are also needed, and the clubs say they would like to hear from people who want to join the committee.
The club is at 378 Massey Road in Māngere East, in South Auckland. Our pick in Māngere East for a child who wants to start football in a friendly, community-run club.
