How we play
This stage is for players turning 4 or 5 this year.
Playing format:
-
- Warm-up games
- Skill-based games
- Non-competitive 2v2, 2v3, or 3v3 games
The session is organized as a team activity and led by Pitch managers.
Each team has a volunteer Pitch manager (s) and they do run the activities for players. Players know which team they do belong and teams do not change, they do play several physical literacy football games and each session is finishing with a football match.
Activities are selected by our Club Technical Director and carefully designed for our little ones to enjoy their football.
Team Information
Equipment
Jerseys, shorts and socks are supplied by the Club at the beginning of the season. Players bring their own football boots, shin pads and water bottle.
Coaching
Voluntary coaches (called Pitch Managers) drawn from the parent group provide coaching for Tiny Tigers. Each team will need between 2 and 4 volunteers to be Pitch Managers to ensure that the teams can function and kids have appropriate support.
Our Club will host a free MiniRoos Certificate for all Pitch Managers and interested parents before the start of the season to provide the skills and confidence to deliver training to the kids. The Club will provide coach mentors to assist in the delivery of sessions each Sunday. Session plans are provided to coaches in the days leading up to the session.
To volunteer to become a Pitch Manager, please contact the Age Coordinator.
Forming a Team
Teams are formed based on school and friendship group information provided upon registration.
Training
Mid-week training for these age groups are available by joining our MiniRoos Kick-Off/MiniTillies Winter Programs. See link below to find out more.
Additional Requirements
To ensure Tiny Tigers enjoy their football, children in this age group must be accompanied by a parent or designated carer for the duration of the session.
