Slacks Creek Football Club

Squirts is an in-house program run for 45 minutes on a Saturday morning for players from ages 3-5. Participants learn very basic introductory skills in a fun environment, helping to build confidence, core stability, gross motor skills and social skills. The season for Squirts is typically the same as terms 2 and 3 of the school year.  Our littlest players are encouraged to wear boots for protection, however closed in sneakers are acceptable.

The Cubs program is an in-house program for players who will turn 6 or 7 during the year. Players participate in one training session per week where they will focus on ball skills, team building, game knowledge and having fun! Teams play games against each other from 9-10am on Saturday mornings at home. The season for Cubs is typically the same as terms 2 and 3 of the school year. 

MiniRoos football caters for our youngest players and gives a well-rounded introduction to the game.  Ranging in age groups from Under 8 through to Under 12, the purpose is to give children the basic skills of playing football in a friendly, supportive and fun environment. Core values of teamwork, cooperation, fair play and respect for others are at the heart of all MiniRoos programs.

The U8 and U9 age groups introduce goalkeepers and play 7-a-side on approximately 1/4 size pitch with 20 minutes in each half. Teams usually train for 1 hour per week, depending on coach and parent agreement.

The U10, U11 and U12 age groups play 9-a-side on 1/2 size pitches with 25 minutes in each half.  Teams usually train once or twice a week (depending on coach and parent agreement). 

MiniRoos games are typically played on Saturday mornings on a home and away ground format, dependent on Football Queensland scheduling. The season for MiniRoos is typically the same as terms 2 and 3 of the school year.

MiniRoos are loosely graded into Kangaroo, Wallaby and Quokka leagues. Selection for Kangaroo teams is done through trials which are held in November of the previous year with a letter of offer outlining expectations and fees provided to successful players. As MiniRoos is focussed on development and learning, scores are not kept and no league tables are published.

Juniors (U13-U18)

Juniors divisional football is an age group competition administered by Football Queensland for age levels U13 to U16. Scores are recorded with league tables being published by Football Queensland.

U13s continue to play 9-a-side on a ½ size pitch while, from U14, games are played in an 11-a-side format on a full field with offside rules being introduced.

Juniors play on either Saturdays or Sundays depending on the age group and Football Queensland scheduling, with a home and away ground format.  Training is usually held for 1 hour, twice a week (depending on coach).
