Essendon Royals MiniRoos are back in 2020!

Aimed at children between 4 and 9-years-old, our MiniRoos program offers a fun and inclusive way for your children to get involved in football and learn some great skills along the way.

Term One of the new year will once again offer Saturday and Monday sessions.

You can register for Saturday and/or Monday sessions, with the first Saturday session of the term scheduled for February 1 and the first Monday session scheduled for February 3.

By registering, you get access to nine sessions per term with qualified and skilled coaches.

Essendon Royals’ MiniRoos Kick Off Program os part of Australia’s largest network of grassroots football clubs, who provide opportunities for boys and girls of all abilities aged between 4 and 9 to play small-sided games at the weekend.

Your child can sign up to Essendon Royals and join a team for the season where they will make life-long friends and have fun.

Our club will provide coaching sessions and set up matches in a relaxed environment where the aim is to teach new skills in an enjoyable way.

The smaller fields, modified rules and fewer players mean a more enjoyable game with more opportunities to touch the ball and more opportunities to score goals, once again 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 11v11 football when the time comes.
