Programs for 3 yrs + ~ U6 - U9 Play Free

Mini Roos (U6 - U11) - Learn the game and building team spirit

MiniRoos provide opportunities for boys and girls of all abilities aged between 5 and 11 to play games each weekend against other clubs in a friendly competetive environment. Your child joins a team for the season where they will make life-long friends and have fun. The MiniRoos Program uses smaller fields, modified rules and fewer players which means a more enjoyable game with more opportunities to touch the ball and more opportunities to score goals, increasing the likelihood of an overall positive experience. As your child progresses through the various age groups they will be introduced to playing environments that most suit their stage of development and prepare them for the transition to full team 11v11 football when the time comes. Scores are kept each game and recorded to make sure that teams are playing against teams of similar skill however there is no overall season results tracked.

Saturday game times and location are determined by the draw managed by the Sutherland Shire football Association but younger ages typically player early (from 8am) with older ages groups playing progressively through the day. The season starts in late March and you will play one game at home (Sutherland) and then the next week you will play away (at another club) through the season which runs until early August. Up to U8 our teams train on Tuesday nights which creates a supportive environment and a diversity of coaching for your child. Many of our U9-U11 teams continue to train on Tuesdays however at these ages training times are determined by the coach but are only once a week. 

*U6 - U11 players are FREE when using their Active Kids Voucher. If the voucher is not used, fees are just $100.  

Nursery Squad (3-5 yrs) - Getting interested in Football

Our nursery squad is run by current and past players who work to instill a love of sport in the newest generation of Rockets. Each Saturday, we provide a structured but fun way to learn the basics of our great game. 12 weeks of fun, uniform, and a soccer ball. Additionally, for every year your child is in our Nursery Squad, the childs MiniRoos (U6-U11) fees with the rockets are waived.

In Nursery Squad players are principally working as individuals with our goal for them to have a ball at their feet for most of the session, learning to kick and control the ball. In Nursery Squad everyone scores a goal every week - it's fun to see up to 60 kids run off at the end of the session telling their Mum or Dad about the goal they scored! At this age, they're all amazing, just ask them.

Our Nursery Squad session run each Saturday at our home ground, Sutherland Oval, starting at 9am and finishing between 9:45am and 10am depending on the activities for the day, the heat, and how their little legs are going. We take a few weeks off during the school holidays to enable our volunteer coaches some time to recharge.

Only $90 for first time players and $50 for returning players who already have a uniform - compare that to comercial programs that cost $250+
