Junior Girls 9 - 12
With low numbers in girl football in the region, we have not had an out and out girls league last season (2019).
Our junior girls therefore joined a mixed league in the 11th grade. Numbers permitted our Junior girls team will join the merged 11th & 12th grade league in 2020. Again numbers permitted we will always try and have a "girls only" team.
Junior girls can also play in a mixed team if they prefer to. Girls are allowed to play down a grade.

Additional Training opportunities with FC Nelson Skill Centre, Summer football, Primary School Football and Holiday Programme. (See individual pages)
