players born 2015-2020

​

MiniRoos is Football Victoria's name for the name for boys and girls soccer at the sub junior level (Under 7/8 - Under 11).  Smaller fields, modified rules and fewer players mean a more enjoyable game with more opportunities to touch the ball and more opportunities to score goals, once again increasing the likelihood of an overall positive experience.

Grading/Trials and Team Allocation

Pre-season training will commence late Jan, 2026. We do not run formal trials for our junior boys. Instead all players are observed during this pre-season period by our team of experienced coaches and Coaching Committee.

This gives them more time to understand all players skill development/stage.

Players will start to be moved into groups during training as they continue to be observed in a variety of scenarios. Ultimately players will be grouped into teams in March.  

​​​​

​Coaching
