We are pleased to announce our junior 8th to 13th grade teams for the 2018 season (see below). Thank you to everyone for registering in a timely manner, attending grading and for your patience over the last couple of weeks as we’ve put these teams together.
Please contact the club here if you have any questions about your child’s team placement this year.
Coaches
We have extra players this season, which means extra teams. That also means we need a few extra coaches/managers to help look after our teams. Please contact us at admin@matamataswifts.com if this is something you’d be interested in helping out with. Full support and training is available so we’ll help you every step of the way.
Holiday Programme
Our April School Holiday programme will run from Monday April 16 to Wednesday April 18 at the Matamata Domain. Players can register for one, two or all three days. This is an excellent opportunity for players to hone their skills before the season starts. Players can find out more information and sign up right here.
Mini-Kickers
Our Mini-Kickers programme begins on Saturday April 7. Click here for more information.

2018 8th to 13th grade teams
Here are our teams for 2018. You’ll note that we still need coaches for several teams. We are actively looking to fill these vacancies but if you would like to help your child’s team either as a coach or manager please contact admin@matamataswifts.com.
NOTE: some players may have been moved either up or down a grade. This has been done to allow for full playing squads and to ensure players compete at the appropriate level.
Please contact the club here if you have any questions about your child’s team placement this year.
The season begins on Saturday May 5. Parents will be contacted by their child’s coach in due course to arrange training times. We have an interim contact person listed for teams that don’t yet have a coach. You may contact that person (or admin@matamataswifts.com) with any questions.
12th/13th Grade
NOTE: We’re still waiting on player confirmation from the college. This means the 12th/13th grade sides may be altered over the next week or so.
