How do I register?

Head to our Register page. If you already have an account, just log in. If you’re new to Otumoetai Football Club, select New to Club, then choose 5 Aside Season and follow the steps to complete your team registration.

Can I register as an individual player?

We don’t take individual registrations for 5-aside. All teams must register as a full team.

However, if you’re on your own, you’re welcome to email admin@otumoetaifootball.co.nz with your details and we’ll do our best to connect you with a team that might be looking for extra players.

How many players should we have in a team?

There are 5 players on the field at a time. We recommend having 7–10 players in your squad, as not everyone can make it each week due to work, family commitments or injuries.

Is it competitive or social?

We offer different divisions (Competitive, Social, Very Social), but it is still a social summer league overall.

We do not tolerate any negative behaviour from players or spectators. Teams may be removed from the draw if repeated issues or complaints occur. The focus is on fun, fitness and good sportsmanship.

What if my team can't play or is short of players?

You must do your best to field a team each week, including finding fill-ins if needed.

If you're still unable to field a team, you must notify the administrator by midday on the day of your game:

Where do I find notifications about cancellations?

We will do our best to notify team managers via email as early as possible if 5-Aside is cancelled due to bad weather. Please note, games will still go ahead in light rain - we will only cancel if conditions are unsafe. Any cancellations will also be posted on our Facebook page.
