13th Grade AFF Henri Hermans email
Boys who were born in 1999.
13th Grade teams play in the Auckland Football Federation League with the Top 13th Grade team playing in the Auckland Metro League
Both leagues are competitive, representative soccer playing all over Auckland against other clubs.
Trials are held at the beginning of each season to identify which players play in which team.
Any players selected to the top two teams must commit to two training sessions a week to play at this level.
The 2012 draw for AFF & Metro Representative teams will be updated here once teams have been finalised. Your coaches Surname will be attached to your team.
All home games are at Crossfields Reserve. At Crossfield, pitch # one is nearest the clubrooms, pitch four is furthest away and to the west.
Our 2012 Grade Identification/Trial process will run on Sunday the 12th and 19th of February.
Unlike previous years Boys and Girls will trial together by Grade.

In the Auckland Football Federation & Metro competitions, one week you will play at home against a visiting club team and the next week you will play away at different club somewhere else in Auckland.
The season is split into two sections. A Grading round and a Championship round.
This purpose of the grading round is to ensure teams of equal ability are playing against each other. It starts with each club recommending a division for their teams for the grading round. The grading round will last for 7 or so games.
If a team wins their Grading Round games by plenty (or loses by plenty), they will probably get moved to the next higher or lower grade for the subsequent Championship Round. That way, teams face good competition week in week out.
Points scored in the Grading Round don’t count in the Championship Round. The points table gets re-set to zero after the Grading Round.
Cancelations are notified on the Auckland Football Federation website.
