Football OLD

Football Years 1-8

Season Information:

The 2023 Football season starts in term 2. This year KingsWay will play its team at Metro Park, Millwater through Rodney District Sports. This is due to a considerable lower fee for our students and local grounds to the school. RDS is registered with Northern Regional Football Federation and teams that play in the league will continue to play in the competition but just in a different coloured shirt.

Football is offered to Year 1-8 KingsWay students and games are played through RDS Football Club. KingsWay students play together as a team under KingsWay School coaches but play in RDS Football colours.

We do have a slightly higher fee than RDS as we have TIC costs to cover and Coaches Voucher. The advantage of registering through school instead of club is:

• Your players will be under a coach OR Manager that agrees with the schools philosophy and values.
• The school has a strict culture where certain behaviours are NOT allowed in line with our school sports code of conduct.
• The older teams will have an extra training with KWS parent/student coaches.
• School teams are included in the KingsWay School Sports Prize Giving in term 4 as well as the opportunity of being acknowledged at the RDS Sports Prize Giving.

Football Grades are based on age of child before the 31st Dec 2023:
The grade is the age the child turns in the year of the season.
I.e those turning 5 between 1st January 2023 and 31st December 2023 play in 5th grade, those turning 6 in 2023 play in 6th grade etc. We do try to look at keeping players in their school year levels when making up teams unless requested otherwise.

Grades 5 to 8 

All games are played at the Millwater Park grounds on Saturday mornings. This runs from 8.30am – 9.45am which includes a training session and game time. Please be there by 8.25am, ready to start play at 8.30am.
