OPTUS Small Sided Games 2010
The original concept of 'Rooball' has now been expanded and as from 2008 a new structure of Small Sided Games has been 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.

Clubs, players, coaches and parents should make themselves aware of the slight changes from 2008. Handbooks are available during the season, from club representatives or through the FFNT office.
