Stop Out is a club focused on involvement, enjoyment and success.With our roots firmly entrenched in the Hutt Valley; the Waiwhetu, Moera and Randwick areas. History shows in the early days the clubs focus was on keeping troubled youth (Stop Out's) off the street by using sport and recreation to keep them active and focused. Moera Stop Out became Stop Out and the rest as they say is history! Today it's the same. While the club has been involved in a myriad of sports, including Boxing, Athletics and Softball, these days Football is the heart & soul of our club. Stop Out is a family focused club and we strive for success across all our grades by developing our players, into being better footballers no matter what level they are! An unusual concept for many to comprehend as only the elite payers get catered for at most clubs! We are well represented in all grades from Central League through to Masters Leagues for Men. We are making a big push in 2008 into our women's leagues and are strongly represented in all Junior / Promo Leagues. We also run Nursery grades for our budding future stars before they move into junior football competitions. Winning is not our sole aim. Yes we play hard and we all like to win but we encourage our children to play fair and to the best of their ability as a primary focus. We believe that we can develop better & smarter players and in time they will play in winning teams as they mature. At Stop Out we don't want players to join our club for the short term; we encourage loyalty and pride in belonging to their club. In our increasingly mobile society we encourage club members who want to feel they are part of a successful sporting body for a lifetime, or even have somewhere they can return to and call home if they do happen to leave the region as they get older.
