At a recent Red Sox Sports Club Special General Meeting plans progressed well for the future of the Red Sox Sports Club. As a part of the new strategic 5 year plan adopted at the meeting, some exciting changes around football at Red Sox are ahead.
As many will be aware Red Sox Sports Club, including Red Sox JFC, have been partnered with and had football registrations under the Massey University Football Club banner since the 2022 season. North End AFC joined under the same banner in 2023 and Palmerston North United was also formed in name, to provide a different aspirational footballing option in the region. Those aware and unaware will know that this has had little effect at the playing level, as everyone has continued playing football under their unchanged team names in the junior and senior space.
Unfortunately the North End Junior Club did not field any teams in 2023 but it was a pleasure to welcome some of their teams or individual players into our Red Sox JFC whanau.
Red Sox-Massey Academy was formed in 2022 and after 2 phenomenal seasons the coaching staff wanted to be able to offer a clear pathway to aspirational football for the most passionate players in the region.
With this in mind we are delighted to announce the re-branding of Red Sox-Massey Academy as the Palmerston North United Academy. Many of our players would go and support the Palmerston North United Men's and Women's teams last season and the name change will give a real sense of belonging to something bigger than just a single club.
Our Red Sox Junior Football Club will be continuing under the same name as it has been since it began growing again almost a decade ago. The club will continue to offer it's regular season players the same experience they have become used to. We will be looking for volunteers to help with maintaining this experience in 2024 as the club has become too large for the current small team to manage.
Registrations for the regular Red Sox JFC winter season will be opening towards the end of February 2024.
