Miniroos

Australia’s Biggest Football Program for Kids

The MiniRoos program is designed for kids aged 6–12 of all abilities, offering a fun and exciting introduction to football. Through short, activity-packed sessions, children learn new skills, stay active, and make lifelong friends!

The season runs from March to September, featuring approximately 18 games.

Training

Training is typically held 1–2 times per week in the evening. Attendance is mandatory for all players. Each team’s coach will set the training schedule and inform families. All sessions are conducted at Miles Park.

Games

Games are played on Sunday mornings, usually between morning and noon. Game times vary based on the schedule and may change up until Friday night of the game week.

Games are divided between home matches at Miles Park and away matches at other clubs. For U6 and U7 Clusters, games rotate among the teams in the division every four weeks.

Coaches

Each Junior team is coached by a volunteer parent of one of the players. We provide training opportunities for all current and prospective coaches.

If you are interested in coaching your child’s team, please contact us at [email protected]. You don’t need to be an experienced football player or have extensive knowledge of the game. Enthusiasm, patience, and a desire to guide our Juniors are all you need to succeed.

Volunteers

For home games, we need a volunteer to referee. One parent or sibling is expected to take on this role.

The Club will offer a $60 refund on registration fees to those parents who offer to volunteer & help out the Club. The $60 discount will be refunded to volunteer parents at the end of the season in September.

To be eligible for the volunteer discount, parents need to volunteer in:

Refereeing (younger games)
Running the line (older games)
Canteen duty
Helping out at one of our Registration Days (to be held in February/March)
Helping out at a Club fundraiser (eg: Bunnings sausage sizzle)
Helping out at our end-of-year wind-up day (to be held in September)
Helping out your manager or the Club with anything they need
(Please note: it does not include bringing team oranges or helping to set up or pack away nets for your team)
