Women's Social Team Open Trainings

8 February 2026

Looking for social womens football in christchurch?

We’re currently exploring the possibility of continuing a CTFC Women’s social team in the Mainland Football – SIMG Women’s Division One league for the 2026 season. We are holding open training sessions in February to gauge interest in fielding this team. Please see further details below:


CTFC fielded a team in this competition last season and completed a full, competitive season. Building on this, we see a strong opportunity to create a social–competitive women’s side that fits well within both the club and league environment. The team would be aimed at players roughly aged 18-35 (flexible).


All playing backgrounds and fitness levels are welcome! Whether you’ve played recently or are returning after a break - this team is about enjoying football in a relaxed, supportive, and social environment, while still committing to regular training and Sunday matches.


If you are interested in participating in the team, or just want to come down to check out training, we would like to invite you to our open sessions held at the home of CTFC, Garrick Park:


  • Tuesday 24 February – 6:30pm 
  • Thursday 26 February – 6:30pm 


These sessions are open to anyone interested and will help determine whether we can confidently enter a team for the season. Please register your interest to attend via this form here.


If you’re interested or would like more information, feel free to attend a session or get in touch with Kailey below. Even if you’re unsure about commitment at this stage, we encourage you to come along for a kickabout.


Further details around season costs, training, and team structure will be emailed to you once the team has been confirmed.


These sessions and team will be overseen by our Community Football Development Officer Kailey Short, contactable via CDO@ctfc.co.nz
