About us

We play in the WaiBop Waikato leagues from 8th grade up consisting of games predominantly at home and in Hamilton but also requiring some travel to areas further afield such as Thames, Cambridge, Ngaruawhahia and Te Awamutu. Our First kicks teams and 7th grade play in a locally organised competition between us and Morrinsville. This consists of games turn about in Te Aroha and Morrinsville limiting travel in these earlier years and will involve two short games each Saturday. Our home ground is Boyd Park Te Aroha, this is where we hold trainings (determined by each coach for day and times) and home games. We have one of the best ground facilities in the Waikato with amazing views and clubroom facilities. Head to our website for more information about how to register or get involved.
