Te Awamutu’s Anchor Park has been a hub of activity as Te Awamutu AFC has been non-stop with summer football activities.
Monday nights have seen the club running Fantails, a New Zealand Football initiative.
The programme, coming off the back of the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup, encourages young girls to get outside and play football.
Tuesdays have seen the club-led programme Expleo Summer First Kicks, the first time a programme for 4- to 6-year-olds has been run in summer, which came purely from a demand from the community for the kids to play.
The Waikato Cakes five-a-side competition, the club’s annual summer event, has also been back at Anchor Park this year with 35 junior and 24 senior teams in action.
