Female Football Program
As many of you know there is a high demand for us to bridge the gap between our social players and our High-Performance Teams (HPT). We are offering options for those players that want more than social football but aren’t quite ready or willing to play in the High-Performance Teams.
Note that all teams are dependent on numbers of players available for each squad and may require mixed age groups and some players to play in an older age group.
Any questions please direct them to juniorgirls@gapfootball.org.au.
