What is MiniRoos?
MiniRoos is Football Australia's introductory program for children aged 4 to 12, designed to make learning football fun, safe and inclusive. All children in this age group play MiniRoos, which focuses on enjoyment, basic skills and confidence rather than competition.
MiniRoos uses small-sided games, such as 4v4, 7v7 and 9v9, so players get more touches on the ball, more involvement and more opportunities to learn. These formats gradually build skills and game understanding, helping children progress naturally towards 11-a-side football as they get older.
The program is delivered by community clubs across Australia and welcomes players of all abilities and experience levels. MiniRoos is about having fun, learning new skills, making friends and developing a lifelong love of football.
For detailed rules by age group, including playing times and field sizes, refer to the MiniRoos club resources.
