Miniroos
Our youngest players start their football careers in the MiniRoo program. Spanning age groups from (5 years old) Under 6 to Under 13, these games are played with modified rules and fields.
​
The focus is on enjoying the game, in line with the Discovery phase of the FA National Curriculum. Players learn football by playing football. At GTFC all our MiniRoo teams are open to both girls and boys.
​
Parents of players in these age groups should register after we announce our registrations are open, and following this our volunteers will begin the process of placing players in a team for the Season.
​
For parents of U6 to U13 players, there is a website that provides more information on the rules and formats for the games for these age groups. The website address is www.miniroos.com.au. Additionally, see the U12 Format and Rules
​
We encourage all of you to spend a few moments to familiarize yourself with the information presented on this website.
​
At Grange Thistle, the U6 and U7 teams all train and play in-house on Saturday mornings. The U6 commence training at 7.30am with games at 8.00am, the U7s commence training at 8.30am with games at 9.00am.
​
U8 - U13 play home and away matches. For home games the matches for U8 start at 10.00am, the U9s at 11.00am and for the U10s up, they start from 8.30am. Away match times are dependent on the Club we are playing and their field availability.
