Step 1 - Understand the key dates

Registrations close Saturday 6th April.

Games start on Saturday 4th May (Week 1 of Term 2) and run through to 7 September with presentations on the following Saturday. Matches are not scheduled during the July school holidays or reconcillation Day and Sovereign's birthday long weekend.

Teams will be rostered to have their photos across two Saturdays - 18th May and 1st June.

 

Step 2 - Understand age groups

The club runs club-based Open (mixed) competitions in the U6 to U9 age groups and Girls competitions in the U8 to U9 age groups.

Players should generally register for the age which they are turning in 2022, or the year they are in at school:

Birth year Age group School year
2018 U6 Kindergarten
2017 U7 Year 1
2016 U8 Year 2
2015 U9 Year 3

Children born in 2019 enrolled in Kindergarten at Primary School this year, may register in U6.

Step 3 - Team preferences

While every effort is made to fulfill special requests regarding team placement, this is not always possible

MiniRoos players are generally placed into teams using three criteria:

  • Retaining the same teams from previous years
  • Playing with friends
  • Playing with children from the same school

If you like would to play with a specific group of children, please include your team preferences in the Additional Questions part of the PlayFootball registration process.

If you intend coaching or managing a team, recruit your team and ask parents to include that information when registering i.e. they wish to participate in the team coached by "xxx" or managed by "yyy" or playing with child "vvv" from "St Judes Primary School Year 2" etc. The more detail the better as it helps us to place your child in the correct team.

In each team, there is an absolute maximum of 6 players in under 6s and 7s and 9/10 players in under 8s and 9s. Having only one or two extra players on the sideline maximises the game time for each players and keeps "equal game time" simple.

Step 5 - Come to the MiniRoos skills sessions

The club will be running MiniRoos skills sessions on the following Saturdays:

3,10,17,24 February, 2,16 March and 6 April.

The program is free and will enable children to develop skills while the club confirms the team formations for the season.

All registered U6 to U9 players are encouraged to attend. NOTE: if your child is not registered by midday on the Friday before one of these sessions are scheduled, they cannot attend until the next scheduled session (no exceptions). This is due to the high volume of players participating and we need to prepare equipment and coaches the night beforehand. Many thanks for your understanding.

Sessions are 45 minutes and the times for specific age groups are below:

U6 9.00am

U7 10.00am

U8 11.00am

U9 12.00pm

All players MUST wear shinpads and bring their own water bottle.

Step 6 - Get ready for kick off!

All MiniRoos U6-U9 games are held on Saturdays at the Waramanga Playing Fields.

Your child's Coach or Team Manager will provide information about training.

Draws will be available closer to the start of the season.
