Which Program Is Right for My Child?

Virginia United FC offers football programs for every age and ability, from our earliest starters through to elite academy pathways. Use this guide to find the right fit.

Age 3 to 5, Squirts (Little Reds)

Our introductory program for children aged 3 to 5. Saturday morning sessions focused on fun, movement and ball familiarity. No experience needed. Players develop at their own pace across three age-appropriate levels. A great first step into football and into the Virginia United family.

Squirts 3 - 5 Years

Age 6 to 12, MiniRoos

Our largest community program. Boys and girls from U6 to U12 play in our MiniRoos competition, with U6 and U7 competing internally at Albert Bishop Park and U8 to U12 playing home and away fixtures. Teams train once a week and play on Saturday mornings. MiniRoos is for players of all abilities and is where most of our members begin their football journey.

Age 8 to 12, Academy Support Program (ASP)

The ASP is for players who are ready to take the next step beyond community football. Players train twice a week with qualified coaches and compete on weekends. The program serves as the pathway to our FQ Academy and is suited to players who consistently demonstrate above-average ability and can commit to a higher training load. Trials are held at the start of each season.

Trials are held in October and November each year.
