The centres have been launched to continue the already significant growth in female football, and secure the next generation of female players.
ALDI MiniRoos kick-off for girls is an introductory program for all with numerous centres across Northern NSW.
NNSWF female participation officer, Holly Ayton said the program is a great opportunity for girls who haven’t 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.
The program has been developed in line with the game-sense philosophy of sports participation.
This approach to sports delivery emphasises a move away from traditional coach dominated sessions to those that are player-centred, using game-like situations and the imagination for play rather than technical drills.
Each session runs for 45 minutes a week, for a duration of eight weeks during school term four.
Each session consists of a 30 minute fun game based skill session and a 15 minute game.
The program is split into two stages with a session plan for girls aged 4-7 and one for girls aged 8-9.
The Nabiac sessions will be held on Thursdays from 4.30-5.15pm on the corner of Hoskins Street and Farnell Street.
