BOYS FOOTBALL 2023

FOOTBALL AT NX

Northcross Football has an incredible legacy having won many North Harbour and Auckland titles and proudly achieving seven NZ AIMS Games Champion titles. We look forward to another exciting and rewarding year of football.

Northcross expects all players and parents to represent themselves, your family, the school and the community in an exceptional manner. Please refer to our Sports Code of Conduct Form for more details on our expectations. 

How does Football work at NX? 

The NX Boys Football teams play in mostly one-off tournament days which take place during school time. Therefore, you can continue to represent your Club team with no disruption to either team. We select a Y7 team and a Y8 team to represent Northcross based on skill, ability and experience (if we can arrange it we will sometimes be able to select 2 teams in each Year level - an A Team and B Team).

Selections 

A reminder to all Players and Parents that the selection of players is very difficult given the quality and numbers of lads wishing to play here at Northcross. A player’s position in any team will be determined by the coach, manager and guest selectors and where they see the player best serving the TEAM. It is very important that players and parents are aware of this before making the decision to play. Please refer to and read our Sports Selection Policies on the School Website. All Boys Football teams will have a minimum of 2x trials before squads/teams are selected.  Trials may take place before school and lunchtimes.  

Communication 

Important information will go up on the Daily Notices and this school website page, which may include trials, training days/times and any changes. Once teams have been selected we will also use the smart phone app TEAM REACH - we will share the group code with parents when trials are completed.

Term 1 we will start trialing/selecting our squads that will represent the school in the following tournaments:

• NH Champs Zone Day Y7 Boys and Y8 Boys (9 aside)

• Auckland Champs 11 aside Zone Day (if we qualify.)

• Pre AIMS Football Tournaments (as part of the final selection process for AIMS.)

• Boys AIMS Football Team (can include a combination of Y7 and Y8 Boys)

AIMS FOOTBALL

Northcross have a proud legacy in Boys Football. We have won the NZ AIMS Football Title 7 times. In the last 7 years we were the New Zealand Aims Boys Football Champions for 2 years running 2016 and 2017. Our talented young side made it to the final four in 2018 and then went on to take out the title in 2019. (picture above). Of course we believe we would have retained the title in 2020 and 2021 if it had not been for a certain global pandemic. Looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings!
