Changing rooms drinking ban
We hope all club members and parents and guardians will respect and abide by our ground rules, so that we can all have a stress free and enjoyable soccer season!!!
All training times and areas have to be booked through the club secretary so every team can be accounted for.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are any teams to train where and when they like. Teams can however train at a school or college grounds if they have arranged this with a particular college or school.
ANY INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS OR TEAMS breaking any of the above rules will NOT BE ALLOWED to use any of the club training areas for the rest of the season. Any individual player continuing to break there rules will be suspended from his/her team’s training sessions.
FOR GROUND CLOSURES – IF WEATHER IS WET please call 576 3902 and listen to recorded message this will tell you whether or not the grounds are open for training.
Please note – If using lighted grounds, youth and junior teams please finish by 6.30pm, for senior teams to use. If it has been raining all day, please use common sense about practise areas and either go indoors, or cancel. If we abuse the fields, we may lose them, as they are council responsibility. We have a great relationship with council, and will keep working on it.

William Green Domain, Howick. Corner of Pakuranga Road and Bucklands Beach Road.
Clubrooms and off-street parking are off Pakuranga Road behind St John Ambulance. Entrances are the drive way next to St John and off Hutchinsons Road.
Designated Training Area at William Green is the area at the bottom nearest Bucklands Beach Road. This area has been divided up into 4 pitches so four teams can train at the same time. Be sure to respect your neighbouring team who is training and your allocated time slot. Please note that training is not allowed in game pitches. Be sure to stay off game pitches at all times, especially the goal mouth areas of Pitch #1. To avoid ruining your game pitch, it is important that we always walk around the pitch at all times and do not use Pitch #1 for a walkway to the training area. In addition, please do not kick balls against your clubroom's walls.
Designated Training Area is the far side of the grounds. 5 areas available, under lights. # 1 field is OUT OF BOUNDS. Inside changing room door is a ground plan, and a list of times and spaces for teams to practise in. Please work with each other.
The council has put in a limitation on the amount of hours we can use the #1 pitch for training. All junior Saturday football will be at Meadowlands Park. Only teams with access to the #1 pitch at William Green are the first / reserve team and the director of coaching with the DoC having preference.
Access from Pakuranga Highway or Cascades Roads, Pakuranga.
Training is allowed at Lloyd Elsmore BUT NOT AT ALL ON THE MAIN FIELDS, there are areas away from the main fields that teams can train on. NO PRACTICE AT ALL is permitted in the goal mouths of any field. Please respect this as it only ruins the grounds for Saturday playing games and the fields will then be closed and your game cancelled.
