The Telstra Football Anytime (TFA) program is an exciting new initiative from Football Federation Australia aimed at introducing children, their families and friends to football. TFA is an ideal introduction to football for 6-12 year old girls and boys as it is ‘game-centred’ and encourages children to play the game anywhere, anytime and with anyone!

Recognising the fact that children love to play, TFA is designed so that participants can experience football through small-sided games, age appropriate activities as well as providing them with the basic skills and game awareness to play club football.

TFA is a 6 session program that introduces children to football in a game centred, non-threatening and enjoyable way.

For a one off joining fee of $66 (inc. GST), participants will receive a kit of equipment that will enable them to participate beyond the formal conclusion of the program. This kit includes:

• a Nike Total 90 all surface football
• a Nike Brasilia equipment bag
• markers to use as goals and to mark out the field
• drink bottle
