Women aged over 17 on 1st April 2012. We have many teams and abilities ranging from Premier level to beginners.
All ages over 17 can play and we have age group teams including over 30’s and over 35’s.
Games are played at our home grounds or away at grounds across Auckland and Manukau regions. Our home grounds are at Madill’s Farm, Glover Park and Crossfields Reserve.
Kick off times vary but generally are played on Sundays at 11am or 1pm for female players.
Games are played in line with FIFA and AFF regulations and laws. Female teams play 40 minute halves instead of 45 minute halves.
Referees may officiate games dependant on their availability. If there is not an official referee or a club based referee available, it is customary for the participating teams to referee a half each.
There is a maximum of three substitutes with some lower leagues allowing rolling substitutes, again to a maximum of three players or more if both teams agree.
Generally we will have at least one team competing in each AFF league.
A squad usually consists of at least 15 players and we allow squads to contain a maximum of 18 – some grades allow rolling subs and upto 5 substitutes to be used.
All senior teams commence matches early April 2012. The season is usually complete by the end of August although this will be dependant on the number of matches in each league.
Teams request a time and area for training prior to the start of the season. When the time and area is allotted a training guide will be sent to the team contact.
Club colours are white

Players are required to provide the following: (Playing Shirt/Shorts/Socks can be purchased via the MERCHANDISE section of our website). A goalkeepers jersey will be provided but he/she will still need to buy shorts and socks.
The club has changing rooms and showers as well as a fully catered bar at the Madill’s Farm ground. Members are encouraged to use the facilities to help the club maintain the facilities that we provide.
Eastern Suburbs is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers. The membership subscription fees are to cover charges imposed on us by Auckland Football and New Zealand Football, as well as the operating cost of the club.
Senior subscription fees in 2012 are being charged on a per player basis. Registration fees have been reduced for 2012 to reflect the additional expense being incurred by Senior players purchasing their own uniforms for the first time. Fees are $230 which includes a $20 refundable bond and are GST inclusive
All subscription fees must be paid prior to the season starting as the club must pay Senior team fees to Auckland Football at that time. Your understanding and co operation is appreciated. The club has a firm policy for the season of “No pay No play”
Refunds attract a 25% deduction to cover service and other non-refundable fees incurred to Eastern Suburbs. No refunds after May 1st.
There is a bond charged per team, which is added proportionally to each players fee. The bond is refunded at the end of each season to each team contact less any late team card fines or lost gear that the team may have incurred during the season.The bond does NOT cover any player fines for yellow or red cards.The player is responsible for these.
Auckland Football charges fines for yellow cards, red cards, late game cards etc throughout the season. Please note that your subscription fee does not cover fines. In other words, the fine must be paid by the player or team responsible.Any player who recieves a fine will be invoiced by the club for this fine. The club will not pay player fines. Failure to pay fines may result in the player or team missing games.
Online registration will be available from 1st February 2012. If there are any problems with registration please call the office on (09) 578 1375.
