| nab New Age Football - Small Sided Games |
 |
|
|
The original concept of 'Rooball' has now been expanded and as from 2008 a new structure of Small Sided Games will be implemented across Australia.
Since 2005 the Northern Territory has been at the forefront of testing the new structure and our feedback has been taken into account when Football Federation Australia restructured the development games for our younger players from 6 to 12 years of age.
In 2008 in excess of 60,000 children will be participating in SSG throughout Australia.
Clubs, players, coaches and parents should make themselved aware of the slight changes from 2008.

| SSG Parent Information Flyer |
The SSG Parent Information Flyer is a resource to educate parents in SSG. The Information Flyer can be distributed to all parents through your club at registration days and the commencement of the season. These SSG parent Information Flyers are with your Member Federation, who will lead the distribution from the 14th January 2008 through relevant collection meetings to associations and clubs where applicable. Further copies can be downloaded from this link – Parents Information Sheet.
A Copy of this Parent Information Flyer will be given to you when you registered a player in 2008.

* Players must turn five years of age prior to the end of their local winter season to play in 2008 competitions. Check with your local Club for that information.
Interchange of players may occur at any time but the player coming onto the field must wait until the substituted player has left the field. |
