How do I enquire about my child joining Highcliffe Hawks?

​

All initial enquiries should be sent to our club secretary at highcliffehawkssecretary@hotmail.com who will direct your inquiry to the appropriate team manager.

​

Any enquiries made via the website contact form regarding "new players" will be referred back to the club secretary. 

​

What age group does my child play in?

​

For the 2024/2025 season, the age groups based on school years are as follows:

​

• Year 2 - Under 7

• Year 3 - Under 8

• Year 4 - Under 9

• Year 5 - Under 10

• Year 6 - Under 11

• Year 7 - Under 12

• Year 8 - Under 13

• Year 9 - Under 14

• Year 10 - Under 15

• Year 11 - Under 16

​

For example, children in the Under 7s football group are aged 6 and 7. The age group classification is determined by the child's age as of August 31st of that season. Therefore, a child who is 6 years old on August 31st at the beginning of the season can participate in Under 7s football, even if they turn 7 during the season.
