We are extremely excited to announce the launch of Small Sided Football starting in September 2009 for boys and girls aged 6-10 years old.

Small Sided Football will offer the opportunity for young boys and girls to keep playing after the club season finishes. The 12 week program will have three main categories, U6, U7-U8 and U9-U10.

The program will be delivered in line with the objectives outlined in the FFA National Development Plan and will consist of 2 sessions per week; the focus will be development, participation and enjoyment.

Small-Sided Football provides many benefits to the development of young players, with more touches on the ball, more shots on goal, more 1v1 attacking situations and less perceived pressure on the players.  

All this makes it easier to understand, learn and fall in love with the world’s most popular game. 

The main advantages of the AFS Small-Sided Football Program are:

• Keep playing after the season
• AFS uniform provided
• 4 gala days organised by AFS
• Quality training venue in your zone
• Coaching provided by AFS
• All equipment provided by AFS
• Ideal learning environment

The cost for the 12 week program will be $290 inc. GST, this will provide, training equipment, coaching, playing uniform, organisation of training sessions and gala days; all while fostering the ideal environment for players to develop and enjoy themselves.
