Why have development teams?
- To give our youth players a space at Papakura City FC where they will be challenged appropriately with and against players of a similar ability. This will help to accelerate player development as players will be required to operate at a standard that involves a higher level of performance.
- To offer competitive participation and structured coaching opportunities in South Auckland.
- To produce youth players capable of transitioning to our U23 and Senior Premier teams and beyond by developing them aligned with the PCFC football philosophy.
- To provide an environment that will develop and challenge individual youth players, encouraging them to play at the highest possible level with PCFC.
