*UPDATED 11 Jan 2024

The aim of our community junior soccer (U12 – U18) and Miniroos soccer program (U5 – U11) is to provide a positive, fun, safe environment for our junior soccer players so they can:

  • nurture a love for the beautiful game
  • develop their physical and social skills
  • enjoy healthy competition in a positive environment
  • make lifetime friendships
  • become part of our football community.

We will give our junior soccer players fair opportunities to enjoy the game and one that best suits their interest, whether it be social or competitive.

We want to have kids finishing the season with a greater passion for the game and greater confidence in their ability to play.

We aim to create lifelong Warriors.
