aff & in-house development teams

Alongside in-house leagues (played solely against other ESAFC members), we also select a number of AFF and In-House Development teams prior to the Term 2 season. Please be aware that there is an extra fee for these team training sessions as you will have a professional coach.

 

Development Team players in 7^th, 8^th, and 9^th grade typically play up a grade in our in-house league. From 9^th grade we may also enter teams in to the Auckland Football Federation leagues so that our more elite players can compete at the highest level available.

 

To be eligible for a 9th - 12th Grade AFF or Development team, you must take part in Term 1 Preseason training. For all training schedules, please select the correct grade from the “Players” tab at the top of the page.

 

To be eligible for 7th/8th Boys and 7th/8th/9th Girls In-House Development teams, you must take part in Term 1 trials.
