"The Mitchie Midgets Program" for 3 and 4 year olds has taken off at Mitchelton Football Club with over 30 children registering to play this weekend.

The program is designed to introduce both the participants and the parents to the game, skills and rules of football. The emphasis is on fun and learning new skills. Parents will be encouraged to be involved in the training sessions, which will be held once per week (on a Tuesday night) for an hour between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.

The participants won't be broken into teams or have a regular Coach.
The Mitchie Midgets will be one big group and be exposed to a number of different coaches and learning's. However, there will be a heavy focus on teaching a small number of core skills.

The Program is designed to be non-contact and will commence on Tuesday 26 February.
