We are excited to announce the 2024 U9 girls’ competition will be run in collaboration with AFL Victoria this year!
AFL Victoria are strong supporters of the transition from Auskick to Community Football within our region, and this 2024 offering will align equitably for both boys and girls transitioning. There are offerings for both Mixed & Girls but are run separately, so for the girls, it will remain a girls-only competition.
2024 AFL Barwon - Unders Program:
For any queries regarding the program, please reach out to Will Ross.
Will is our dedicated point of contact for both Unders offerings and as such, will be the main contact for this Girls-only opportunity.
Fixtures and timings will be finalised and communicated closer to the start of the competition.
We encourage all interested girls to participate, and we look forward to another successful season!

As you are well and truly aware Club Volunteers are the glue that keeps our Clubs together. Without them our clubs just would not function. You know that you’re one of them!
Thank you to the 25 Clubs that took the opportunity to reward & recognise their volunteers by nominating & registering for this fantastic initiative. This serves as a wonderful recognition for all the unpaid hard work that they do for your Club.
