Registration for the 2025 season is now open! Registrations close April 6th 2025 when the waitlist will open. 

Teams & Training

Registered players are placed into teams by our wonderful Grade Managers beginning mid-April. A Grade Manager will email parents to inform them of their players team for the season. For our community teams, we then request to parents and guardians for someone to step in as team coach. Once a coach has been found, they will email out details of training (if applicable) and the teams first fixture. You will hear re your players team by late April. 

 If you wish for your player to be allocated with friends, you can provide their full names on the registration forms. We will accomodate friend requests to the best of our ability. 

Please make sure to check all friends are registering to the same grade before registering your player. 

The following grades do not typically have a training session - just a game:

• First Kicks 4-6
• Grade 7-12

Welcome to the CTFC family! Unsure what you or your player needs for the 2025 season? Read on.

We will provide each player with a playing top, each player must supply CTFC shorts and socks (sold via Anderson & Hill at Barrington Shopping Mall), shin pads and playing boots (ideally plastic studs and not metal).

The season typically runs April/May to the end of September. Occasionally, games and/or training is cancelled due to weather or poor pitch conditions - we will email you and post on the Noticeboard by 11am for each cancellation.

Cashmere Technical offers a broad range of social and competitive football from ages 4 to 50+! From First Kicks to First team, CTFC has a place for everyone. 

Players that attend Team Selections and achieve a place in an A-Band team will be allocated into teams late February. All other players will be allocated into teams by mid-April. We will email you details of your/your players team by mid-April. 

For Community teams (any team that is not Pre-Academy or Academy) have Community Volunteer Coaches. These coaches decide if they will run a training session through the season. Details on training if applicable will be emailed through to you by end of April. Interested in being a Community Coach or Club Volunteer? Find complete the interest form here and we will be in touch by mid-April.

Girls-Only Teams & Registrations

At Cashmere Technical, we offer both mixed-sex teams and girls-only teams. Girls-only teams are "dual banded" which means players of two multiple groups are able to sign up. 

Providing young girls with this choice is important because it allows them to find an environment that best suits their confidence, skill level, and personal preference. Some girls thrive in mixed teams, enjoying the challenge and diversity of play, while others feel more confident and engaged in a girls-only setting, where they can develop skills alongside peers who share similar experiences.

Girls-only teams are found in the following grades:

8th Grade: players aged 7-9

10th Grade: players aged 8-10

12th Grade: players aged 11-12 

14th Grade: players aged 12-14

16th Grade: players aged 14-17

If you would like your player to enter a Girls-Only team, please select a Girls-Only membership when registering your player. 

Volunteer Community Coaches decide time, date and location of training sessions. They will then communicate that information directly to the players/parents of players. This information will come out late April if applicable. 

It is at the discretion of the Volunteer Coach whether the team has a training session. Training sessions are not manager by by CTFC. Please view our free coaching courses and resources here. 

Teams are allocated after registrations close, then teams find themselves a Community Volunteer Coach for the season. The coach then books a training ground - if they decide to put on a training session - which most coaches do in grades 10 and above. 

The following grades do not typically have a training session - just a game:

First Kicks 4-6

Grade 7-10

Open to players 7 to 17 who want to develop their footballing skills and knowledge with an extra training session per week, our Skills Centre programmes run weekly throughout each term. Click here for session times, locations, and registration details.
