Women’s football in New Zealand is on the rise, with continued growth year on year, helped by the recent Women’s World Cup.
FC Twenty 11 is committed to supporting and growing female football at all ages and all levels (Club or Development).
We offer an environment that is safe, where individuals are able to grow and develop alongside their peers with the support of their coaches.
This is a time to create long-lasting friendships and a love of being active.
If you daughter is interested in playing football she has choices, namely:
Play in a mixed (girls and boys) team
Play in the Girls Club Programme
Play in the Girls Development Programme (Subject to the number of players)
We’re even open to hybrid models whereby girls play in the mixed grade but train one day a week with a girls team.

Parent Involvement
Once players are allocated a team, a volunteer game day manager and referee will be required from amongst the players’ parents/caregivers.
All Saturday games are managed and refereed by volunteers.
The club will provide training and support for all team officials, including the offering of NZF Community Referee Courses.
Coaching or Managing a Team
The teams in the Club Programme will be led by volunteer coaches, managers, and referees – typically from amongst the players’ parents/caregivers.
FC Twenty 11 has been going through a sustained period of growth over the last few years. The biggest strain that this puts on us is in the area of finding enough volunteer coaches and/or managers.
Some of our previous coaches/managers were parents who had never have played football before!
To support these dedicated volunteers we run in-house training, and our Director of Football, Ricardo, is available to support coaches and provide resources as requested.
If you are interested, we would even support you through the NZF Youth Level 1 Coaching and Community Referee Courses.
If you are a parent or past player who has flirted with the idea of coaching or managing a team – please give it a try! It is a truly rewarding experience.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact our Football Development Officer, Will Morgan on +64 22 035 6165 or email will.tm@fctwenty11.co.nz
