RIVERSDALE MINIROOS
(Ages 7 -11)

Our MiniRoos Program

About the MiniRoos program

The Mini Roos Program commences in February each year – with 2 sessions per week of Skills Improvement, and then moves into team-based training for one of the sessions.

Organised matches from Under 7 to Under 11 levels form part of an organised season beginning in mid-April.

The Riversdale MiniRoos Program is one of the best value football programs for players aged 6 – 11 in Victoria.

The Riversdale SC MiniRoos program features:

More than 30 weeks of football commencing in February
2 sessions per week plus an organised game on Saturday or Sunday during the season (18 Rounds, commencing in April)
Weekly Skill Improvement sessions led by experienced Coaches from our football academy partners School4Soccer.
A good mix of academy-style Skill Improvement sessions, combined with team-based training and competitive matches.
Places a major emphasis on enjoyment.
Improved soccer skills due to lots of time with a ball and skills sessions.
Provides a chance for both kids and parents to socialise with teammates and other parents.
Allows for parent participation and involvement throughout the program.
Provides a pathway to play soccer throughout childhood and into adulthood.

Our MiniRoos program is split into groups based on age and/or skill level

Players will train initially in an age group cohort during pre-season with a view to finalising team squads by mid- March.
In selecting these squads, we will take into account both social factors (i.e. friends that want to play together) as well as developmental factors.

About each age group

U07 & U08 Players will train initially in an age group cohort with a view to finalising squads by the end of February/early March. In selecting these squads, we will take into account both social factors (i.e. friends that want to play together) as well as developmental factors.
Returning U09, U10 and U11 Players will train initially in their previous year’s squad with the intention being to keep these squads together as much as possible.

Additional Information

Registrations open in late January
Priority will be given to returning members that register online by mid February in line with the Club’s Returning Player Policy
Teams will be coached by a volunteer parent coach except in the case where a volunteer parent coach cannot be found or the parent group request the Club to appoint a Staff Coach
Teams with an appointed/paid Staff Coach may be subject to a Coaching Levy that will be calculated on a Cost Recovery Basis.
The club will support volunteer/parent coaches as much as possible to improve their coaching knowledge and skills via interaction with our academy partner coaching staff and funding of any coaching courses the volunteer/apparent coach may wish to take.
Teams will be selected/allocated through the Pre-season Program during February and March. Our aim is to have tams set by mid-March.
Where RSC cannot offer a player a place due to lack of numbers in a particular age group or too many players in a team, we will endeavour to find a place for them at a nearby club.
