GO Soccer Mums is designed for women to play in a social and judgment-free environment. It's not just for mums but for all women from all walks of life. It doesn't matter if you've never kicked a ball before!
To celebrate our GO Soccer Mums community, we're gathering stories from participants and sharing one per month with our wider football family.
Our incredible participants join the GO Soccer Mums program for a number of reasons. One reason we hear above all others is that they have taken the opportunity to put themselves first, to do something positive that makes them feel good.
This is no different for our Aspendale FC participant Anne, who originally started the GO Soccer Mums program to help her give up smoking.
“I chose the GO Soccer Mums program originally at the Knox Regional Football Centre to get fit and to help me give up smoking. Now I participate in the program at Aspendale FC and it gives me the confidence to believe I can do anything and it helped me to give up smoking.
“I have been a part of the GO Soccer Mums program for five years and love meeting all the new people who are there to challenge themselves. I have started goalkeeping and I love the new position. I hope that in the near future, I can join a team and get back into full games.”
