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)

Games are home and away (within our local area). Teams are coached by parent volunteers. The coaches are all vetted and selected by the club and recieve on going in house training throughout the season, as well as a Blue Card.
