About Remutaka Minis


Remutaka Minis is an inclusive junior football programme for girls and boys aged 3–6 (Under 4s to Under 7s), based in Upper Hutt.

The programme is designed to give young players a positive first experience of football, with sessions that focus on fun, confidence, ball skills, and teamwork in a supportive environment.

No previous football experience is required — all ability levels are welcome.


What to expect


Sessions are age-appropriate and designed to keep young players engaged and active.

Children will take part in a mix of:

  • fundamental ball skills and movement activities

  • small games and drills

  • teamwork and confidence-building activities

As the season progresses, players will also take part in regular matches against other club teams, along with friendly games, all delivered in a fun and supportive setting.

The emphasis at this age is on participation, enjoyment, and development, rather than competition.​​​​​​​
