You wanted it and
Here it is
Myself and Chicken are very excited to announce that Women’s AFL is about to kick off in Mackay! With a Come Try Day
Being held on the 26th May at
Rogers Oval – Eastern Swans Home Ground
Starting at 10.30am
We Welcome all ages from 15 (must be turning 15) and up to come and join in.
We will be having some skill drills for women who would like to have a taste of AFL, a mini game for some fun and a sausage sizzle after all the activity. We will then address everyone and let all know of the structure for the Inaugural Women’s Competition in Mackay. We are encouraging registrations on the day but if ladies would like to try a training session first we welcome this also.
Over the last twelve months myself and chicken have been inundated with requests from women of all ages wanting to play AFL, and we have listened and acted. With this information we have talked together, and after a lot of meetings and hard work to ensure we get it right from the start, we have formed the “AFL Mackay Women’s League”.
Women’s AFL is one of the quickest growing sports in Australia and on Saturday the 29th June there will the inaugural Women’s AFL Exhibition game at the MCG. What a fantastic opportunity for women in our region to be able to chase their dreams of playing in the big league one day.
We are both very dedicated and have been working extremely hard to get the Ladies AFL up and running so this continues for many years to come. I hope to see all interested people old and new to help make this successful.
If you are also wanting to get involved as a volunteer, coach as well as players, please come and see us as I can honestly say, it is the most amount of fun you can have with your clothes on!
We are also in need of Sponsors so anyone out there wanting to help us please contact either Naomi or myself.
We would like to thank the Eastern Swans for the use of their grounds our league/competition will only prosper with the following of the Mackay Clubs.
So come and be part of this great journey and this exciting time for AFL in the Mackay Region.
