The WSC Sports Department introduced a structured football programme for girls and boys in 2012 with a view to developing the College’s talented young players while building football into a ‘tier 1’ sport at Western Springs College.

We were incredibly fortunate to have appointed John Cunningham as our head coach for this five year development window and, under his guidance, have successfully progressed our Senior Boys first XI from the Senior A4 competition to the A2 competition and our Senior Girls First XI were promoted into the Auckland Premiership competition for the first time at the end of 2016.  Seven Football teams (two Girls and 5 Boys) make up the programme for 2017.

Under the programme we are also focused on developing and supporting young coaches in inviting keen past students to return to school and take up these key coaching positions.
