FAQs
What is the Franklin United Junior and Youth Programme? Franklin Utd was established to provide the opportunity for ambitious local footballers to follow an elite footballing pathway (All Whites, National leagues, USA University Scholarships, etc.).
Who and what ages does the Junior and Youth programme cater for? We offer training for 9-12 year olds in the Junior programme (U10-U12 teams) and 13-18 year olds in the Youth programme (U13-U17 teams).
Where do the Youth teams play? The Youth teams will play for Franklin United in the highest NRF competition possible.
Can you be part of the Junior and Youth programme but still play for your club? There are opportunities for players who just want to be exposed to the talent programme development, but also play with their friends at their local club (not for Franklin United).
Are there trials? Yes - the main trials are held in early February. We do welcome players to trial during year, please email us to ask about this.
Are payment plans available? Yes, payment plans are available but must be arranged prior to starting, with Board approval. Payment is still required in advance of each Term, not paid belatedly.
