Football @ Aotea
There is a lot of confusion around the way that football for juniors and schools is administered in Wellington. This is Aotea's take on the situation:
1. Any Aotea College student can play for the school - and they are encouraged to do so!
2. U14 boys who are already in club teams can stay with those teams, but they don't have to.
3. There are only College Sport Competitions for all boys born after 1/1/95 and Aotea College will take all possible steps to ensure that there are teams at all levels of ability to accommodate them.
4. Girls are not affected by these constraints and the College has both junior and senior team options.
