Our Club

The Onslow Junior Football Club (OJFC) is based at Nairnville Park in Wellington (New Zealand). Our catchment zone for players takes in the northern suburbs of Wellington including Wadestown,  Chartwell, Ngaio and Khandallah. Our closest neighbour clubs are North Wellington and Karori. The football season in New Zealand runs from mid April through to end of August.

As our name indicates we are a junior club, catering for children (boys and girls) from ages 5 through to college age. We do not have any senior teams.

Children turning age 7 through to age 14 play in the Saturday morning competition run by Capital Football. Players in the 15-17 age group play for their school in the College Sport competition.

Children aged 5 and 6 play in our introductory football program called Nursery Grade which is run on Sunday mornings at Raroa Normal Intermediate school in Johnsonville.

Girls are able to play as part of the Saturday mixed league and / or on a Sunday in the Girls Only Sunday League (GOSL). The GOSL is based at Nairnville Park.

In 2010 we have over 750 registered players, including 110 in our Nursery grade.

The Club is a community organisation and as such is run by elected volunteers. Our income is derived from membership fees plus any grants that we receive from funding agencies (community trusts).

The Club is run very successfully on a voluntary basis by parents for their children. The Club Committee is responsible for policy, strategic goals and general administration of the club. Individual teams are run by their coach and manager.

Without the active involvement of our parents the club would not exist. If you can help, in any way, please indicate when you enrol or at any other time by contacting a member of the committee.

Our assets mainly consist of football equipment (balls, gear bags, nets, flags, uniforms etc), our floodlights for Nairnville Park, and the energy and efforts of our volunteers.
