The Multicultural Settlement Program (MSP) is an introductory program that offers football for newly arrived migrant kids (girls and boys aged 4-11), aiming to enhance social inclusion and connection.
The program aims to introduce newly arrived communities to the structured football environment in Australia, and provide meaningful community integration opportunities.
The program involves:
- Weekly sessions that build skills through progressive drills and games, and focus on fundamental movement skills;
- Program delivery in an engaging and inclusive environment;
- Make new friends and develop fundamental social skills;
- All new participants receive a MiniRoos Participant Pack
