Hills Football has got of the ground running delivering MiniRoos certificates at Kellyville United, Eric Mobbs Reserve and Gooden Reserve in the space of 2 weeks. The MiniRoos certificate is a fun 3 hour course that is packed full of practical. The course encourages the coach to develop practices that are fun with the emphasis on natural development. Coaches get an introductory exposure to the game and hints and tips on building a football journey.
