Following the booming success of Ocean Grove Football Netball Club’s girls junior football season, the club is fielding a senior women’s team in 2018.
The club fielded three Under 12 girls’ teams and one Under 15 team, in what was a runaway success this season.
The interest in women’s footy keeps growing, with AFL Barwon announcing 12 sides will be entering the senior women’s competition in 2018.
Ocean Grove will be running a Try Day for girls and women on Sunday 26 November at Ray Menzies Oval, Shell Road. Under 12s and Under 15s will kick off at at 1pm, Under 19 and senior women at 2pm.
The club is seeking an experienced coach for its senior women’s football team.
Coaches can submit their expression of interest stating relevant coaching and playing experience, coaching qualifications, personal coaching philosophy statement and any other relevant information to women’s football co-ordinator Lisa Robinson at robinson.lisa@optusnet.com.au. Remuneration will be negotiated with the successful candidate.
