The Darling Downs U17 Youth Girls representative side continue to break records after their astounding success at the recent Queensland State Championships. The team has been rewarded with 12 players chosen for the Queensland Youth Girls Academy the most by any Darling Downs representative side in history.
AFL Queensland Female Football High Performance Coach Craig Starcevich said the aim of the Academy is to produce both high level club players and very competitive state representative teams.
“Both objectives are geared towards Queensland being well placed for the planned introduction of a national women’s league in 2017,” said Starcevich.
“We’ve been pleasantly surprised by the depth of Queensland talent at Youth Girls level and we unearthed some gems at our first Under 14’s carnival in September and the recent Under 17’s State Championships.”
The Academy consists of Level 1; for players who will be 16 or younger in 2016, and Level 2; for those turning 17 or 18.
The2016 focus for Level 1 players will be preparing for the School Sport Australia National 15/16 Championships, while level 2 will work towards the National Youth Girls Championshipsto be held in Melbourne in May.
Below is the list of the 12 Darling Downs players selected.
