Ruahine AFC Football Programmes

Ruahine AFC is afliated 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 of play.  Team practices during the week are arranged according to the availability of indivudual coaches and their teams.


<< NEW FOR 2024 >>

Ruahine AFC Fusion is a year round programme run during school terms, providing an opportunity to really develop football skills through game-based training in an indoor environment. This programme is run and facilitated by Ben Mathews and includes the opportunity to play indoor Football and/or Futsal.

RUAHINE AFC FUSION - all school terms

Indoor Futsal / Indoor Football

We're excited to announce the beginning of Ruahine AFC Fusion, providing the opportunity for particpating in Junior & Youth Football Games and Development all year round... one term at a time.

​​​​​​​Ruahine AFC Fusion is a 'fusion' of Futsal and Football programmes played indoors. It is a form of 'training' predominantly supported by play; run and facilitated professionally by Ben Mathews with the support of other coaches. Spaces are limited for the programme, so we are calling for serious expressions of interest to help us put teams together. You have a choice of participating in both 'indoor football' and/or 'futsal'.

Please note that these programmes are faciliated by Ruahine AFC only, and are completely separate from the normal outdoor winter footballl programmes afilliated to Central Football.
