The MiniRoos Player Pathway has been created to identify the standard process a participant would follow as they transition through the existing products under the MiniRoos banner. It also works to help identify the proper product for a participant that is dependent on age, ability and overall engagement in football.
MiniRoos Kick-Off is an introductory program designed for beginning and developing players who are new to the game. MiniRoos Kick-Off programs can run all year round where the coach will facilitate modified games and activities to spark the love of football!
