MiniRoos is designed for kids of all abilities, ages 4-11 years. This program uses modified games to introduce our youngest players to football. The focus is on developing football skills, making friends and having fun. At this age games are officiated by game leaders who are normally older kids or youth who are in the first stages of becoming a referee and are learning just like the players. Whilst we understand many players will keep track of scores themselves, there are no points tables or results published, results are recorded for grading purposes only so we can ensure teams play in divisions which best reflect their abilities
