Membership Info
Uniforms
The club provides shirts and shorts which need to be returned at the end of the season. Please be responsible for these as it is dispiriting to lose so many over time. Red full length socks are required with shin pads an essential. Fully enclosed footwear at junior level is acceptable but after 8th grade football shoes must be worn. We have a box of “free recycled” boots that you are welcome to try and borrow for the season, but please return once finished.
Hosting and Game Days
For the 10th grades and above we expect parents to host the “away team”. This involves bringing a nutritious plate of food and a simple set up. We have access to the Multi Sports Park kitchen facilities and keep a plastic box labelled MBFC to the left of the sink. The Club provides tea, coffee, milk, sugar and cordial for teams to use. There is a working BBQ, stove/oven and fridge for our use with other codes. Parent help setting up the fields, which involves hanging the nets and placing out cones is also appreciated. Please coordinate these minor duties amongst your team of parents.
Minis and 8th grade are also welcome to “host” if they feel inclined but we leave that up to your parent group.
We run referee training courses frequently as it is very helpful if a parent can referee a game so the coaches can coach! The course is very simple and the rules uncomplicated at junior levels so no previous experience is required.
Venue
TRAININGS and GAME DAYS: Moewai Sports Park. One full sized filed will be set up for senior teams and the 2nd field will be set up to host another 2 smaller fields. We are currently applying for Youth sized goal posts for these smaller fields.
