At Ellerslie AFC we continue to set our subscriptions at a level which provides great value for families to afford football – part of that value is that the club provides the playing shirts, which significantly reduces the cost of our fees compared with other clubs. The Club tries very hard to keep fees to a minimum and continues to try and offset cost increases incurred in delivering services to members, while also meeting the club's objectives of delivering a high quality footballing experience.
All players selected for Ellerslie AFC Red teams (top in each grade, male & female) will have an additional one-off charge added to their Club Hub account once the player announcements for the Red teams are known. This charge is to cover additional costs incurred with qualified coaches, additional training sessions, resources and equipment and increased elite player fees enforced from Northern Region Football for the 2022 season. Refer to the Player Development section for more information.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to play in the 2022 season you will need to be vaccinated if eligible to do so or have a medical exemption, under a new directive from New Zealand Football.

(see our Subscriptions & Refunds policy for full details)
The Club receives a number of requests for players to be placed in the same team as a friend or classmate. The Club will make every attempt to meet such requests, but cannot guarantee this, particularly in graded teams.
If a player is likely to be unavailable for periods during the season (ie other sports, extended holiday etc) please let the Coaching Director, Ryan Shiffman by sending an email - coaching@ellersliefootball.org.nz to ensure that teams have the appropriate number of players for the season.
Northern Region Football (NRF) Leagues
These leagues are administered entirely by the local Federation and involve teams from throughout the Northern Region Football area. These leagues are competitive with teams initially placed in grades requested by their Clubs, then re-graded before the championship rounds start in June. Medals are awarded to championship winners for Under 13-19 grades. Games will be played against clubs from Northern Region Football, however for NRFL Youth Girls and NRF Championship leagues, teams may play against clubs from the North Shore.
Matches are played on Saturdays for all Youth Grades except:
Detailed draws are published here for all grades approximately 1-2 weeks before the start of the season for all leagues.
Most teams are trained weekly by volunteer Coaches who freely give their own time to assist the players and the Club. For this reason, training days and times are normally decided by the Coach in discussion with the members of the team. Most teams train one night a week but NRFL Youth Girls and NRF Championship teams are required to be available to train at least twice a week, sometimes up to three times a week. Parents and players need to be aware of these requirements when trialling and accepting positions in top teams within a grade.
The Club is based at Michael's Avenue Reserve in Ellerslie. A number of teams train at this venue and at Liston Park but these spaces are not large enough to cater adequately for all Club teams. Team Coaches and Managers are encouraged to seek training facilities at local schools etc or contact us to discuss possible venues and times on Club controlled training areas.
Teams are issued with a set of playing shirts including a goal keeper’s shirt and gloves in the gear bag issued to the Coach or Manager at the start of the season. All items remain the property of the Club & MUST be returned at the end of the season or earlier if a player leaves the Club. The Club reserves the right to seek compensation and mark a player's national record with a red flag for any club property that is damaged or not returned. It is preferable that the team shirts stay together as a set and a washing roster is set up for the season for each family to take turns to wash and bring back to training prior to the game on the weekend.
Players will need to provide the following items of their own:
Shorts, socks, guard stays and supporters gear (caps, beanies, jackets etc) can be bought online from Score Sportswear (Lotto) via special online shops for Ellerslie players and supporters. Click here to get more information.
