About the
Minis

The Minis are where most Rovers careers begin. Sessions are games first, with short challenges that teach balance, dribbling and sharing the ball, and no one sits out. On Saturdays the Minis play festivals against other clubs, with everyone getting equal time and no league tables.

Training is at Eastfield Park, Mill Lane, Eastfield EF4 2RL. Park by the clubhouse on Mill Lane and bring boots or trainers, shin pads and water. See the full kit list.
