Our in-house competitions at
Centennial Park and Somerfield School begins on May 3rd
We offer two First Kicks Programmes for players ages 4 to 6 years old. CTFC's in-house programme takes place at Centennial Park and another at Somerfield School, both on Saturday mornings. The Somerfield School programme is exclusively for students of Somerfield School, while our Centennial Park in-house First Kicks and Junior programme is open to everyone else from Grades 4-9.
Our First Kicks In-House Programme
At Cashmere Technical FC, we align our junior programmes with
New Zealand Football’s Junior Framework, focusing on structured player development, enjoyment, and long-term engagement in the sport. Our goal is to create an inclusive, fun, and structured environment where young players develop a love for football while building key skills at every stage.
Key Benefits:
✔ Combines football skills with motor, physical, mental, and social development
✔ Provides a positive and non-competitive environment
✔ Promotes sportsmanship and fair play
✔ Instills a love and passion for football
✔ Builds self-esteem and confidence
Cancellations for Cashmere Technical First Kicks will be posted on our noticeboard and Facebook. Since this competition is managed by our Club and not by Mainland Football, Mainland Football cancellations do not affect our games.
