AFL Victoria are running an ‘All Female Coaching Introduction to AFL’ course on Wednesday 1st August at Toorak Park. With the enormous growth in female football player participation in the last two years, females coaches are not as strongly represented in football, no doubt there are many female parents and volunteers with the capabilities to become great community coaches and this free course is the ideal first step for those parents and volunteers to take the step from football enthusiast or interested parent into a female super coach at your local club! We encourage all YJFL clubs to promote this course to ensure we continue to develop great female coaches within the region. Please contact your club coaching coordinator for more details.
