U8 - U12 Miniroos

Mixed teams and girls only teams are available in the Miniroos competition, travelling locally for away games. Build skills and confidence on a smaller pitch with modified rules, as children learn the game in a 7v7 or 9v9 format. Training is once a week with games on Saturday mornings. Training night is determined by volunteer coaches and training duration is usually similar to game time, eg U6-U9 – 45mins, U10 – U12 – 60mins.

Mixed teams are categorised into four playing levels for Miniroos: Kangaroo (highest), Kangaroo 2, Wallaby and Quokka. Girls teams have two levels: Girls Bilby (highest) and Joeys.

The Club will grade registered players into teams to play with and against players of a similar ability. Returning players will be prioritised before opening spots for new players to join.

Age Restrictions

Football Queensland has age restrictions for playing groups in Miniroos, Juniors and Senior teams.

 

The playing group age is determined by the age you are turning this calendar year.  For example, if you are turning 11 in the 2026 calendar year, you will be an U11 player.  This is different to the school year.  In some circumstances, players are permitted to play one age group.
