Have a Go with North Wellington FC

Our club will be active on the turf all afternoon. We are running small-sided games for players of all ages and abilities. It is a relaxed, no-pressure environment for children to try football for the first time or for returning players to get their boots back on before the season officially kicks off.

Our coaches and club members will be there to help facilitate the games and ensure everyone has a fair go and a bit of fun.

A Proud Johnsonville Club

North Wellington FC has a long history in this area, formed by the coming together of legacy clubs like Johnsonville, Onslow Fc, and Newlands Paparangi United. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive club that reflects the spirit of our community.

Events like the Open Day are a great chance for us to connect with our neighbours and welcome new families into the North Wellington fold.

We look forward to seeing you at the Hub on the 21st!
