MINIROOS

PROGRAMS

At Football Smarts Academy, we offer a range of programs for players that fall into the "Miniroos" category. This group includes Under 7s through to Under 11s. 

WEEKLY SESSIONS

​

WEEKLY SESSIONS are back!  In Term 2 and 3 only Mondays are offered for this age group.  Term 4 will be advised. There may be a Futsal session added. 

​

We will continue to be running sessions at Karinya in Blackwood in 2024. Sessions for MiniRoos aged between U8-U11/12 are offered. Players are able to come straight from school and experience football fun between 3.40-4.30 each Monday. Spots are strictly limited, Term 2 was a sellout. Get in touch if you are interested. 

 

There are two major elements of these sessions: 

​

1) Ignition: we aim to help IGNITE or further add to a love of the game. Nothing is more important than a young player loving the game. 

​

​

2) Technique: We aim to guide the player towards using the fundamental techniques required to play the game effectively, and to enjoy the game. 

​

Program: Ball mastery, 1v1, first touch, running with the ball, striking the ball (shooting and passing), teamwork. 

​

Academy structure for Term 3, 2024. Start date: July 22

 

Monday U8-U12 (2016-2012) TERM 3 is now open. Current players have first right to a spot, please enquire for availability.
