MINIROOS FOOTBALL
MiniRoos Football games are modified forms of 11-a-side football, designed to meet the needs of players under the age of 13, who have very different developmental characteristics and needs to adult players. The philosophy of MRF focuses on enjoyment and freedom of expression with limited emphasis on coaching per se, particularly in the formative years of a player’s development.
MINIROOS FOOTBALL FORMATS
In 2009, Football Australia released the National Curriculum which was a key initiative put forward in the FA National Football Development Plan released in 2007. The National Curriculum aims to provide national guidance and an integrated and consistent approach to the development of players and coaches throughout the country.
As a result of a combination of the release of the National Curriculum and feedback from the football community, including Member Federations, Associations, Zones, Clubs, parents and players, the MiniRoos Football formats have been adjusted for implementation at the commencement of the 2010 season and beyond.
