OCEAN Ridge Junior Footy Club and West Perth District Development Officer Megan O'Mara have made the brave move to provide an all girls option within their Auskick Program.
WAFC Coordinator of Female Football Clint Degebrodt said this was an exceptional opportunity for young girls.
"Hats off Scott and his team up at Ocean Ridge, the girls have asked for a female dedicated side in a 'girls only' setting, which has now been provided."
Ocean Ridge JFC is very keen to continue the promotion of Girls Auskick and currently has two teams – the Dolphins (Pre-Primary & Yr1) and Marlins (Yr2 and 3).
The club is keen for this initiative to develop further and prepared to create as many teams as needed.
The more girls, the more teams, and the more teams, the more fun!
Ocean Ridge is also offering the program to females for half price, with the girls to receive an Auskick pack, specialist coaching and 6-10 weeks of real footy!
State manager of Auskick in WA Clayton Anderson also heaped praise on the initiative: "This is a fantastic opportunity for girls in the West Perth District to experience footy in a safe friendly and fun environment," Anderson said.
