AFL Victoria’s Youth
Girls Academy members were participants in recent community events for the City
of Casey and City of Greater Dandenong.
Eleven representatives
from the Youth Girls Academy assisted the Dandenong District Junior Football League
in promoting football and the opportunities that exist for women and girls
within those municipalities. The girls, all of whom play for Youth Girls teams in the local
region, ran a number of different activities that included handball drills and boundary
umpire throw in games, whilst sharing their experiences as a footballer. AFL
Victoria’s Youth Girls Academy members will be required this year to complete
different player appearances as part of their commitment to the program and the
game.
