AFLQ Mackay today announced the Mackay Female High Performance Squad for 2016.
The squad was chosen based on performance in the AFL Mackay Women's season, the Central Queensland Tri-Series and Under 17 Youth Girls Championships.
AFL Queensland Regional Manager Mackay, Jeff Neumann, said the aim of the program is to produce both high level club players and very competitive regional representative teams.
"The Female High Performance Program is geared towards Mackay talent being well prepared for the Queensland academies and the planned introduction of a national women's league in 2017," said Neumann
"With the Mackay City Hawks entering the Mackay women's competition this year and the introduction of a modified youth girls competition, the Mackay High Performance Squad is focused on fast-tracking player development.
"80 players make up both the Level 1 and 2 squads, with more to be added.
"The program was a success in 2015, with Mackay players Lauren Bella, Brooke Laffan and Jordan Smyth all a oart of the 2016 Queensland Youth Girls and Women's Academies respectively."
The High Performance Squad consists of Level 1 for players who will be 17 or younger in 2016, and Level 2 for those 18 and older.
The 2016 focus for the Level 1 players will be preparing for the Queensland School Sport State Championships, which will be played at Harrup Park. Level 2 will work towards both state academy selection and inter-league representative matches.
The Mackay Female High Performance Squad will begin training in February.
