MiniRoos is a fantastic introduction to football for girls aged between 4 and 11. Designed for children of all skill levels, this nation-wide initiative uses short, game-based sessions to introduce the sport of football to newcomers in an inclusive way.
It focuses on learning new skills, being active, making life-long friends and, potentially, unearthing the next generation of Westfield Matildas. MiniRoos teams can play in inter-club Gala Days, or in leagues.
To learn more about MiniRoos visit the ALDI MiniRoos for Girls website, or view MiniRoos for Girls competitions and fixtures here.
