New Plymouth Boys’ High School has a variety of football teams designed to meet the needs of your son.

From the 1st XI, which competes in National Competitions, to social teams, our mission is to ensure that your son excels whilst enjoying his football experience at NPBHS.

All teams within NPBHS compete in Central Football Federation competitions played on Saturdays.
