Miramar Rangers Football Club

Miramar Rangers Football Club is a well-established and respected soccer club based in Wellington. With a rich history dating back to 1907, Miramar Rangers has become a powerhouse of New Zealand club football. The club offers a range of teams and programmes for players of all ages and skill levels, including First Kicks, Junior, Senior, Girls-Only, Capital One, Capital top, Central League, National League, and Chatham Cup Football.

The club's home ground and clubrooms are located at David Farrington Park in Miramar. This park is widely regarded as having one of the best playing surfaces in New Zealand. In 2009, the park was renamed David Farrington Park as a tribute to a local football stalwart who had passed away the previous year. David Farrington was an influential figure in New Zealand football for over 40 years, coaching Miramar Rangers, Wellington representative teams, and the New Zealand women's national side.

In 2012, David Farrington Park underwent a renovation by Mexted Performance Sport Surfaces to improve its playability. The surface had been holding water due to a build-up of organic matter and contaminants. Mexteds' Contracts used a planer to remove 100 mm from the playing surface, re-levelled the sub-grade, and installed new primary drainage. A new layer of clean turf sand was added, along with a new style of grass known as creeping rye grass, which is more stable and durable in the sand-based park and Wellington conditions.

Miramar Rangers Football Club is proud to be sponsored by TBI Health, a physiotherapy provider that offers no co-payment physio for all registered Miramar Rangers players who sustain a football-related injury covered by ACC. The club also has various other sponsors and community funders who support its activities. Additionally, Miramar Rangers promotes the Fit4Football 11+ warm-up programme and abides by the NZ Football Code of Conduct.

For the convenience of its members, the club provides useful information and important links on its website and social media platforms. This includes registration and fee details, information on age grades, girls' football programmes, and opportunities for coaches, referees, and volunteers to get involved.

Whether you're a beginner just starting out or a seasoned player looking for competitive opportunities, Miramar Rangers Football Club offers a welcoming and supportive environment for all soccer enthusiasts. Join the club and become a part of its rich history and tradition in New Zealand club football.
