Lancefield Junior Football Club is on the hunt for new players to build its girls program as it looks ahead to the 2022 season.
Last season the club created its first girls side, winning two matches from seven games.
Lancefield is currently looking for any girls of any level of experience aged 10 to 18-years-old to give footy a go.
Girls football coordinator Jacqui Green said it was great to see the team building football skills and growing in confidence.
“Many of our players came to us at the beginning of the season, never having held a football and with limited knowledge of the game,” she said.
“It was our fundamental skill sets worked on at twice weekly training sessions and continuous team building that saw the Girls confidence grow over the season.
“If only it was a full season, who knows where it would have taken us.”
To help the girls continue to grow, the club welcomed the Melbourne AFLW team to lead a development workshop.
“Our mission is to provide the opportunity for all to grow and develop, while learning team discipline and sportsmanship,” she said.
“You’ll hear our passion, our club has seen firsthand how football can make an immeasurable difference in young girls’ lives.”
Lancefield’s preseason will begin on Tuesday, February 8 at 6.30pm.
