Tayla Harris first started playing football with her brother’s football team 7 years ago and she hasn’t looked back. Favouring the ruck, Tayla today also played at Centre Half Forward and certainly let her opposing player know she meant business. Hip and shoulders, shepherds and tackling were all second nature to this star in the making.
With ambitions to be selected in the State 12 years & under team, this girl certainly doesn’t lack confidence. Having played at Aspley JAFC for all of her football career she has the club to thank as well as her mum and dad of course for her love of the sport which is rapidly gaining recognition and support from the AFL for girls playing.
Only last week the AFL had Women’s Round which encompassed all women involved in the sport not only players but officials, volunteers, trainers, management etc. To my surprise Tayla had not heard that the Queensland Women’s Team came third in the Women’s National Championships held last week in Perth.
From Tayla’s performance today however, it seems Queensland has another star in the making who soon could be making her own mark in Australian Football.
