GDSFA Operations Manager Rosanna Lentini said the girls all enjoyed their taste of soccer last year and were looking forward to having a ball again soon.
“We have limited numbers of girls and women in our Granville clubs so the females play with the Blacktown Association,” she said.
“With Mini Tildas, especially with the Women’s World Cup on our doorstep, we have started our own all-girls competition from the ground up and plan to keep our local comp going for them as they get older.
“They will be playing just four a side with 20-minute halves and seven a side for the older girls so they can develop the basics well and also have a lot of fun and make new friends at the same time.”
Lentini said there’s nothing better than soccer for a girl to learn as it gives them great health and fitness out in the fresh air and off their screens, opportunities to make friends, it’s confidence building and it’s a sport you can do throughout adulthood.
“My daughter is 38 now and is still playing with no plans to stop; she has made friends for life,” she said.
