U8 - U11 MiniRoos - Virginia United Football Club

U8 - U11 MiniRoos

For these age categories it's all about development. Coaching wise we are looking at the big four; 1v1, running with the ball, striking and first touch. Experience wise we are looking to develop mateship and sportsman like qualities. All players are graded into three levels and no matter what level you are we aim to give you a great experience. The club insists that all volunteer coaches are FQ Certified (Grassroots or Skill Trainer) to ensure we are instilling the correct curriculum and each player receiving the same football input.

The costs of participation includes the FQ coaching certificate course for the coach and an individual trophy for representing The Reds.

Cost $470 (Match official fees are included however $60 kit is additional)

Academy (Very advanced - please see the drop down menu)

However, the club looks to roll teams over from the previous season with minimal changes. Our grading element is that we try to place new stronger players into vacancies in teams that are estimated to compete at Komodo. Beginners in teams that compete in Gecko and intermediates into Goanna squads.
