Game Days (Saturdays) teams travel around Auckland for away games and play at McLennan Park for home games. Game times usually range from 11am - 1pm but can vary depending on where the game is being played.
Game Days run Saturday 5th April 2025 through to end of August
(no games Easter & ANZAC weekend, Kings Birthday Weekend, Matariki Weekend and 5th July subject to change by NRF)

When Team Allocation takes place a Coach and Manager for each team will need to be found from within the parent / family group of the team. Some existing teams have returning parent coaches.
Communication:
If you have any questions about girls / women's football please contact Natalie on junioryouthgirls@papakuracityfc.org.nz
General communication will be emailed and posted in the Junior Facebook group (Junior & Youth Facebook Group) and on the main club Facebook page.
Draws can be found on the NRF website . Team Coaches and Managers are responsible for checking where and when each team is playing and informing the team. Fixtures are confirmed Friday evenings so make sure there have been no changes.
Cancellations are generally communicated from NRF to club admin and posted on the NRF Facebook page as soon as a decision between NRF & the Auckland Council has been made (in the case of bad weather throughout the week). Coaches & Managers of affected teams will be emailed to share the information with their teams. This can sometimes happen as late as early Saturday morning.
