About Us
Ngongotaha is a sports club, with the purpose of providing the opportunity for everyone to play football. We believe in playing a full part in the community and in breaking down the barriers to participation (see our page on the CR1 project).
We run football for all ages - from our youngest pre school age children in the 'Little Dribblers' through all junior grades and seniors. There is no such thing as too old - our oldest players are over 60. If you want to play football, we'll do our best to provide something that suits you.
The club's home is at Tamarahi Reserve, Stembridge Road, Ngongotaha. We pay an annual fee to the Rotorua Lakes Council to use the field and lease the site for our clubhouse. The clubhouse has changing rooms, toilets and some storage on the ground floor and a clubroom with a kitchen and bar upstairs. We own the building and are responsible for the maintenance and operating costs.
We also use the field at Jessie Martin Park and the Rotorua Stadium #2 field for training, and some senior and U19 games. All junior games are played at Puarenga Park.
In legal terms we are an incorporated society and are bound by a set of rules. The club is managed by a committee elected by its members.
