Important Dates for 2023

Capital Football have made some key changes regarding season commencements for juniors and seniors for the 2023 season.  The key change is that all junior and most youth competitions will now start at the end of April (at the beginning of Term Two) and finish early September. That means that the junior season will start on the weekend of 29th April and finish on the weekend of 2nd September.

There also be no games in the middle weekend of the Term 2/3 school holidays.

What gear do I need to play?

The Junior Regulations state that it is compulsory for ALL players to wear shin guards regardless of the grade of football they play. These can be purchased from any sporting goods store.

Football boots for players attending First Kicks (U3-U6) are optional. As they play on an indoor astro turf sports shoes are fine (especially if they are just giving it a go until you know for sure). 

Football boots are a must for U7's and above. Again these can be purchased from any sporting goods store.

Football boots that have metal sprigs or cleats are NOT PERMITTED on artificial football turfs.

Lower Hutt City AFC's club shorts and socks can now be purchased through our supplier Football Central either online or at the shop located: Unit 1/3 Raiha Street Elsdon, Porirua 5022. Club sweatshirt and jackets are also available, and for an additional cost can be personalised with your name.
