Girls Only Sunday leagues

In previous years, Upper Hutt City Football has entered teams into the Capital Football Girls Only Sunday Leagues at U8, U10, U12, U14 and U16. This allows our junior girls the option to play girls’ only, or to play both mixed (on Saturdays) and Girls’ Only on Sundays.

For 2025, if enough players are interested, we will again be looking to enter teams in these Girls’ Only Sunday leagues. For now, please just register in the relevant age grade. All U8-U18 female players will be contacted in due course by the grade manager to see if they wish to play in the Girls Only league, the Mixed League, or Both (there is no extra cost to play in both).

For more info on our Girl’s only options please contact Katie Pettengell, Women’s Captain, katie@upperhuttcityfootball.org.nz

Need more help?

If you’re unsure which programme would be best for your junior or youth player and you wish to discuss your options, please contact:

Director of Junior Football, Jonathon Winkworth, jonathan@upperhuttcityfootball.org.nz

Senior Men and Women (Social and Competitive) – 2025 Season

We offer options for competitive, social and (men’s) masters’ grades.

Registering for Senior Football

Registrations through Sporty Manager for the 2025 season are now open.

This year, we have introduced a $100 deposit per player for our Men’s and Women’s social teams (excluding Masters). Unfortunately, this has been necessary due to unpaid fees at the end of last season.

Team	Fee
Men & Women Senior (competitive)	$315 ($205 for students) Fees are payable following squad announcements.
Men & Women Senior (social)	Team fee $4300. A deposit of $100 per player is required with registration. The balance will depend on number of players per team and will be confirmed by your team manager.
Men (masters)	Team fee $4300. Individual player fees will be advised by team manager, dependent on number of players.

 

How to pay

Depending on your team, you can pay during the registration process using online bank transfer or Visa/Mastercard.

Refunds

Players that withdraw from the season will only be given refunds where medical evidence is supplied or on a case-by-case basis agreed with the grade manager. Please contact us in confidence if you need to discuss payment options.

What your fees at UHCF cover

Registration fees contribute towards the cost of operating Upper Hutt City Football. These include (but are not limited to):

• Affiliation fees to Capital Football (for NZ Football, development support, courses, referees, etc)
• Club equipment – balls, nets, shirts etc.
• Turf training and ground fees
• Prizegiving expenses – certificates, medal and trophies
• Funding towards tournaments fees
• Other costs relate to running the club, clubrooms and gear storage facilities

 

***NEW FOR 2025: CLUB RAFFLE***

Registration fees only cover a proportion of the costs involved in operating a successful football club. Upper Hutt City Football is very much reliant on sponsorship and fundraising to supplement the income generated from subscriptions.

This year, we’re introducing a club raffle (more info on prizes to come) and would love for our football family to support this fundraising initiative by committing to the sale of raffle tickets. Understandably families are busy and under pressure with other school/work/sport fundraisers, so if you’d prefer to opt-out of this initiative, we do offer a one-off Fundraising Donation of $20 on the registration form.

Or of course, you can choose neither option, that’s absolutely ok. Any additional support is very much appreciated. Funds raised through this initiative will be put towards the purchase of new training equipment.

Any questions about this fundraiser, please contact Club Chairman, Tristan Elder, tristan@upperhuttcityfootball.org.nz
