Prebbleton Football Club 2023

This season the club hosts 17 teams from first kicks through to seniors. This is huge growth for us and we are thrilled to have so many new faces joining our ranks.

We have officially moved from Prebbleton Reserve to Kakaha Park on Birchs Road with two senior, three junior and two intermediate fields. We are still over- marking one senior pitch with a different colour to make up the intermediate fields but the extra room and bright lights has been welcomed by club members.

The park has some drainage issues currently but we hope they will be rectified in the short term as we have already had the ground closed a couple times this season. New changing sheds and a gear shed are currently being built and will hopefully be available in late May. The new Council grounds team have been amazing to deal with and we look forward to many seasons at our new home, Kakaha Park.

The late release of Kakaha Park meant we started the season a little behind the eight ball but parents and seniors alike stepped up to help with not only the move but the influx of new members and teams this season. A mixture of students, players and parents make up our coaching and management team and a diligent committee have got our season well underway. Results have been trending to the right side of the ledger and we look forward to seeing results continuing to be positive.

This year we have started a younger coaching group on Thursday nights; led by one of our long standing senior players. This has proven very popular and it is great to see the next generation of footballers coming through.

Sponsors have been increasing their support this season with more coming on board, adding to our principal sponsor who has been with us from the start; the Prebbleton Village Tavern.

The Club is always on the lookout for junior coaches so if you have someone in the house who loves sport and wants to get involved please get in touch. Next season is our 20th year and we are already in the planning stages for this special season. Twenty years already, it feels like only yesterday we were getting our first team on the pitch.

Local supporters are always welcome at our new home grounds.
