Girls playing football are at risk of injury no more than a girl playing netball or basketball. Football is a contact sport and can be a physical game which is why different age groups play with different modified rules, tailored to their different stages of development.

Girls can play in mixed teams with boys up to and including Under 14s. After this, girls must play in girls only competitions.

Absolutely! You can become a coach, an umpire, a trainer, a team manager or a club volunteer. Contact the club to see how you can help.

Once you are over 18 and can no longer play Juniors, you can start playing with Heathmont Senior Womens & Mens football. Senior Womens is an open age competition and the Senior Men’s start with an Under 19.5 team that leads onto the Development Side and then Seniors.
