Play On the Pitch During Jets Matches!

Northern NSW Football club teams playing U8s and U9s in 2020 and 2021 have the opportunity to become MiniRoos Half-time Heroes at Newcastle Jets home games! Clubs can bring along players to participate in a small-sided MiniRoos football game during the halftime break.

Clubs participating in the MiniRoos Halftime Heroes will receive:

• 2 tickets per player (1 for the player and 1 for a parent)
• 2 tickets for accompanying coaches
• 10 minutes playing time on the field at half-time at either McDonald Jones Stadium or No 2 Sportsground, Newcastle.

* Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we are unable to offer mascot and stadium tour opportunities at this time.
