Have you considered starting a GO Girls program at your Club? 2023 is an enormous year for female football. There’s never been a better time to get involved and facilitate more young women and girls to play our great game.
What is GO Girls?
GO Girls is designed for girls aged 12-16 to experience, learn and practice football in an inclusive, fun and pressure free environment.
No experience is necessary - this social format of the game can be played by girls with all levels of experience and fitness.
While players will certainly learn some new skills, this is much more flexible and less structured football. The emphasis is on fun, social interactions and enjoyment rather than performance, results and competition.
Why start a GO Girls Program at your Club?
There are some incredible benefits to kicking off a GO Girls program at your Club, including:
- $250 grants available for participating Clubs (limited number remain)
- Introducing girls to football in a pressure free environment
- Supporting the growth of female football
- Launch or grow your Club's women & girls program
Officer City President Cheree Appledore praised GO Girls, advising it had helped to build the Club's first ever female team.
“Go Girls program was a game changer for the club. It allowed us to reach the girls through a program specifically designed around introducing girls to the sport at an age we usually don't have girls try the sport.”
“The interest we have received at the club in just Term 1 of this year for GO Girls Program has made us scramble to find more space for them, quiet happily.”
“The girls came in wanting to be introduced to the sport now have a passion for the sport and a first in our clubs history we have our very first female team.”
