Boys Soccer
Collingwood City Boys Program
Collingwood City’s boys program proudly caters for players of all abilities and ages.
The Club has offers opportunities for players right through from our foundation program (kinder soccer and Under 6/7) to Senior Men.
This includes teams at all MiniRoos ages, as well as Junior sides at each level from Under 12 to Seniors.
In addition, the Club has multiple teams at each age group, providing an ability to offer a suitable level for players of all abilities. From those simply looking to play social soccer, right through to players harboring ambitions to play at the highest level. We firmly believe it is important to provide a transition pathway for players to be able to progress right through our Club, helping to foster a sense of community.
Collingwood City understand the need to tailor our program not only for each age, but varying abilities at these levels. We have developed a renowned soccer program to facilitate this, fostering in our players a love of the game, whilst enhancing their development as they mature within our system. The program covers the basic fundamentals of football through to technical game training sessions, with a core focus on player development through fun and engaging sessions.
The program developed, and focus on player development, is in line with the FFA National Coaching Curriculum.

MiniRoos
MiniRoos soccer is for boys and girls aged 4 - 11 with a fun introduction to the game, played on small-sided fields. MiniRoos is designed for kids - it is all about having fun, learning new skills and making life-long friends.
MiniRoos provides an enjoyable participation experience for young people of all abilities with a major focus on skill development through freedom of expression, minimal coaching, and limited emphasis on the scoreboard.
The smaller fields, modified rules and fewer players mean a more enjoyable game with more opportunities to touch the ball and more opportunities to score goals, once again increasing the likelihood of an overall positive experience.
The modified rules aim to promote inclusiveness, engagement and technical ability.
