Registration to sign-up for winter football opens in early January each year and we can help you if you’re not sure how to find the right club for you.
Read on below to find a step-by-step guide on how to find your new home.
Football Canterbury has several overage competitions for adults including Over 35s for women and Over 35s, Over 45s, and Over 50s for men.
No matter your experience or skill level, there is an overage league for you - even if you've never played before!
Last season, Over 35 Women went down to Division 3 while Over 35 Men went down to Division 7. Over 45 Men go down to Division 5, while Over 50 Men had a single division – though we’re looking to expand that.
Last season 23 different clubs had teams in the overage competitions, meaning that 80% of clubs in the region catered for those who want to play in overage leagues.
While it’s not guaranteed that your closest club will have an overage team, you will find one very close to where you live. You’ll increase the speed of finding the right club if you contact several of them.
