Eastern Health has teamed up with the Eastern Football League and AFL Outer East to help encourage “Getting Girls In” – an initiative to increase participation in women’s football in the eastern region.
This is a huge time of year for interest in AFL and often this translates to many people looking for ways to become involved with their local club.
Australian Rules Football is a fantastic way to stay active, keep fit, make lasting friendships and be part of a team and local sporting community.
With the popularity of the AFLW growing, it’s an exciting time for girls and women to get involved – and we are working together to ensure there are clear pathways for females to get involved in their local clubs.
If you’re part of a local football club and want to start a women’s team, but don’t know where to go, join us at the Getting Girls In event on Wednesday 16 October from 6-8pm at the Ferntree Gully Football Club.
You’ll hear advice from Carlton AFLW player, Charlotte Wilson, as well as representatives from successful clubs, Blackburn, SBL Wolves, Boronia and Wantirna South.
