One of New Zealand's oldest and largest football clubs, founded in 1910 and based at Tulett Park, 99 Claridges Road, in Harewood, north-west Christchurch. The club says it offers affordable football for players of all ages and abilities, from First Kicks for four to six year olds through to senior football for players aged 20 and over. It runs winter and summer competitions, along with academies, skills centres, holiday camps and community events. It has junior and girls' teams, and senior men's and women's teams for social and competitive play. The club holds New Zealand Football C and Y licences, and runs a Youth Talent Centre and a Skills Centre. The website says the club has two full-time football development staff.

Customers say the coaches are good, but mixed views follow. One parent says their son's team won its league and got no recognition for it. Another says the club president was disorganised and dismissive when they wanted to change teams, and that paperwork was not processed in time. A third says their team lost a final and blames the referees. Customers mention the coaches and the club's size most often.
