Panther Cubs Squirts Program


The Football Squirts program has been created to develop the football skills of 3 to 5 year olds. The program will enhance the opportunities for young children to receive quality, consistent coaching. The hope is that in acquiring basic skills,participating children will not only learn correct technique but will also develop a love of the “world game”. The Football Squirts program promotes football-based exercise and activity for younger children who are not able to be registered to play. It can be used as a stand-alone program at specific times during the week or as a way of involving younger family members on weekends while their older brothers and sisters play scheduled matches. Park Ridge currently runs the Squirts program 8.00am - 9.00am Saturday mornings.
