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.

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.
We have options available for women and girls wanting to play football at Lower Hutt City AFC.
Lower Hutt City boasts strong senior men's teams across Capital Premier, Capital 2, Wellington Leagues, U17's and Masters making it the perfect platform for footballers of all skills levels. Registration for the 2023 season NOW OPEN
