Champion Schools Competition

WA Schoolgirls Have a League Of Their Own

More than 2000 female secondary school students are taking to the football field following the commencement of Term 2, with the WAFC Schoolgirls Cup kicking off in 60 participating schools.

This year’s competition will see students compete in two divisions of the program with a finals series concluding on July 1st when qualifying schools will battle it out for the Alison Moore and Debbie White Division Cups.

Until recently, girls have had limited opportunities to pursue their interest in the sport of Australian Football. The main aim of the secondary girls’ competition is to provide a wide range of experiences to girls, who would not otherwise have the chance to be involved in the sport.

In particular, participation in the school competition will be an important step for girls to become involved in the senior women’s football competitions.

It’s interesting to note that the girls’ football competition was established way back in 1996 with the aims to:

Provide an alternative sport for girls
Promote girls in sport
Promote a healthy lifestyle
Enhance school / community links
Play with peers
Build school pride

The WAFC and School Sport WA are proud to support the WAFC Schoolgirls Cup program and wish all players coaches and volunteers the best of luck in this Year’s WAFC Schoolgirls competition.
