4 & 5 YEAR OLDS (MIXED)
Keen football players aged 4 (and some 5 year olds) who are not yet at school have the option of joining our weekly training sessions on Tuesday afternoons. This can help them learn skills, make friends and decide if football is for them or not. Once they move to U6 they can start playing weekend matches along with the Tuesday training.
Registration for non-school going 4/5 year olds is free and you can do so here. Training will be the only cost. Exact training times will be advertised from mid March - but likely to be 4-5pm on Tuesdays for this group - at Saiala Oval in Killara. Training will commence at the end of March and run until end of August. Training is to be signed up for separately via our web site once it’s open.
