The Junior Framework provides a consistent, coordinated national approach to the development of junior players. Whether children enjoy football because it’s a fun way to make friends or they’re inspired to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and play on the world stage, the Junior Framework has been developed to kick-start their dreams.

FOOTBALL PROGRAMMES
Ruahine AFC is facilitated to Central Football and is unique in the area as a Junior Football only club - we believe this is our strength! Ruahine AFC runs a First Kicks (4-6th grades) programme at Wallace Park (next to the clubrooms) and also caters for players up to 13 years of age. Players are generally placed in the grades to align with the age they are turning in that year (e.g. turning 4 years old this year will align with 4th grade).
