Girls only Sunday leagues
In previous years, Upper Hutt City Football entered teams into the Capital Football Girls Only Sunday Leagues at U8, U10, U12 and U14. This allows our junior girls the option to play girls’ only, or to play both mixed (on Saturdays) and Girls’ Only on Sundays.
For 2023, if enough players are interested, we will again be looking to enter teams in these Girls’ Only Sunday leagues. Please contact Noel Raggett, our Junior Captain for more information about our Girls’ Only options.
