MiniRoos & Junior Programs - U6-U18

MINIROOS (U6-U11)

MiniRoos introduces children aged 6–11 to football in a fun, supportive environment. With age-appropriate coaching, regular games and opportunities to play with friends, players build skills, confidence and a love of the game.

Training: One night per week, with a second night for selected development teams. Games are played on Saturdays.

U6 - U8 | Get Started

Focused on fun, participation and the fundamentals of football. U6 and U7 teams typically play in an in-house competition at Mitchie, subject to team numbers, while U8 teams compete in Football Queensland hubs against local clubs.

Players can request to play with friends, and teams are supported by a coach and manager, often parent/carer volunteers. Games use smaller fields and goals, with an emphasis on learning and enjoyment rather than results.

U9 - U11 | Build your game

As players develop, games introduce larger fields, goalkeepers and positional play. Teams play home and away fixtures against other clubs.

Players are grouped into development levels based on their stage of development:

• Quokkas – Beginner

• Wallabies – Intermediate

• Kangaroos – Advanced / Development

Grading helps players learn and compete with others at a similar stage. Every player develops at their own pace, and placement can change over time. MiniRoos teams are generally mixed. Where numbers allow, we support opportunities for girls to play in all-girls teams and take part in additional football and social activities.

METRO DIVISIONAL (12-18)

Our Metro Divisional teams offer football for players of all experience levels, from beginners to experienced competitors. Players are placed in divisions suited to their development, with a focus on improving skills, building confidence and enjoying the game.

Training: One or two nights per week, depending on team level.
Games: Weekends, home and away against other clubs.
