MiniRoos is a national initiative run by Football Australia (FFA) for children aged Under 6 to Under 12.
It is designed around small-sided football games with rules that evolve as players progress through the age groups.
The main focus of MiniRoos is skill development, teamwork, and enjoyment of the game.
Scores are not kept for these matches, ensuring every week provides a fun and fresh football experience for all involved.
