Women’s Curtain Raiser to Headline AFL Women’s Round

This is exciting news. I have had the pleasure of coaching girl's teams at primary school level for many years now, and the most saddening thing has always been the writing on the wall that the girls could go so far, then have to give the game away. One girl in particular is currently the star player in our local U14 league and won a competition best & fairest as an U12, such is her talent.

To know that there is the potential to stick with the game and follow a far more pronounced pathway in footy is a great leap forward. For this year's Women's Round our school is holding the second annual Women In Football challange against another nearby school. This girls only match is already well supported, but I know I can read this article to the girls and have them believe that the team they are playing in is not a novelty or anomoly, but a first stage on a journey to who knows where.
