Fantails is a programme to attract 4–12 years old girls to the beautiful game of soccer.

Sessions are focused on making friends, having fun, improving skills and being active through playing soccer in a relaxed and safe environment. 

North Shore United is running these affordable sessions in Term 3. 

Launching just as the FIFA Women’s World Cup comes to NZ and Australia. These hubs are the perfect opportunity for girls to give soccer a go. There are no weekend games or commitment to a team. 

These are girl-only sessions run by friendly, local NZF qualified female coaches and role models.
