Teams and Player Registration

Adult teams at Abbotsford Juniors are typically formed around established groups of players. Team managers will be consulted about the team composition and playing roster for the upcoming season before new player registrations for adult teams are accepted. Many of our adult teams also conduct trials to determine whether a player and the team are a fit for each other. Abbotsford Juniors Football Club’s adult teams are graded by the Football Canterbury Association into divisions each year based on the team’s past season results and player ability.
