Speers Point, along with New Lambton and Garden Suburb will offer the ALDI MiniRoos Kick-Off For Girls.
It’s a program aimed at building on the significant increase in female participation and secure the next generation of female players.
Holly Ayton, NNSWF’s female participation officer, said the MiniRoos program was a great opportunity for girls who had not participated in the sport before to try football in a safe and inviting environment.
“All of our coaches have been specifically trained to deliver this program and are as passionate as we are about providing a welcoming, fun game-based learning environment,” she said.
Each session runs for 45 minutes a week for eight weeks.
The program is split into sessions for girls aged 4 to 7, and for girls aged 8 to 9.
Ayton said the benefits of girls participating in the program included taking part in fun, game-based sessions that builds fundamental motor skills; non-competitive activities to improve confidence and self-esteem; low participant-to-coach ratio resulting in greater individual engagement and; a chance to experience the football basics.
MiniRoos meet at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility on Wednesdays, Lance Yorke Oval on Mondays, and Novocastrian Park on Thursdays, starting this week.
