MiniRoos
Football Australia's official introductory program for children from 4 years old, giving kids of every ability the chance to fall in love with the game.
MiniRoos is Hills Spirit's entry-level program for children from 4 years old. It is designed to give kids of all abilities the chance to experience football in a fun, inclusive and engaging environment. Using game-based activities, MiniRoos encourages more touches on the ball, skill development and plenty of smiles, while creating opportunities for lifelong friendships.
At Hills Spirit, our MiniRoos program is run internally and combines weekly skill sessions with small-sided games. Teams of 5–6 players are organised based on friendship requests, schools and age groups. There is no grading or team ranking. It's all about fun and development!
