My daughter is really nervous and has never played football before, can she attend Fantails?

Definitely! This programme is perfect for her. We believe that football is for everyone and want to ensure that every girl has an opportunity to take part and has a great experience.

Is there an equivalent boys programme?

MILO Fantails was developed to target female participants as currently only 1 in 5 players playing football in NZ are female. Onehunga Mangere United AFC offer a number of boys and mixed football options.  Please see the other Teams pages or email juniorandyouth@omuafc.org.nz for further information.
