SUMMER FIRST KICKS

Summer First Kicks is the perfect option to keep your football going over summer. Delivered by UHCF Director of Football, Toby Wilton and qualified club coaches, this is the perfect programme to keep your skills sharp.

We follow New Zealand Football’s nationwide football framework to teach core skills, play simplified games and have a whole load of fun!

The programme is open to all players aged 4-7 (born 2022-2019) and you don't need to be a registered UHCF player to join.

When

Friday 16 October - Friday 20 November 2026

5:00pm - 6:00pm (U4-7 Session)

Where

Artificial football turf at Maidstone Park, Park Road (opposite Parapine ITM). 

What

We follow the New Zealand Football Junior Framework that encourages a variety of skill development and is all about building the foundation for future years. We are firm advocates of the CoachMate mobile app, used by NZ Football, which provides a wide variety of suitably skilled training videos.

The first part of the session is made up of small station rotations (around 10 minutes each) that focus on each training area including general movement, football coordination, football technique and small-sided games.

Then we play a game for the remainder of the session.
