About Us

Ferrymead Bays has become one of the largest sports clubs in Christchurch and this year (2010) we are hoping to break our records for the number of junior and senior teams.

The club is committed to playing at the highest level possible. To complement our top Men's team competing in the Mainland Premier League this year we have numerous teams in the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th & 15th Youth grades.

A sincere thank you goes to our current sponsors for their on going support. There is always room for more sponsors should you wish to contribute. Remember to support our sponsors and mention you saw their ad. Additionally, the Club spends a lot of money on goods and services. If you can help by offering discounted goods or services, please contact the committee or note it on the registration form.

As previously we require assistance from parents who can coach or assist with teams in other roles. No soccer experience is necessary and we give full support to our coaches, with the club covering the cost of coaching courses. In conjunction with Mainland Football, we are planning at least one coaching clinic prior to the season.
