Players Wanted for new Female U12 and U18 teams for 2018.

We have had some enquiries regarding fielding both an under 12’s and 18 girls team in season 2018. If there is sufficient demand we would love to field both of these teams.
 
Currently the Under 12’s team is requiring only a small number of players to complete the squad. If you or your daughter are interested in playing let us know.
 
If there are any girls aged 16 – 18 who would be interested in playing U18’s we would love to have you at Garden Suburb. No previous playing experience necessary if you are looking to keep fit or try out a new sport with your friends here is your chance.
 
Majority of games would be played Sunday mornings (occasional mid week game possible depending on the draw) with our other girls teams (we anticipate having an under 12 team and at least 3 senior teams playing on the sunday morning home games)
 
Don’t be shy, let us know if you are interested.
 
You can reply to this notice or send an email to gardensuburbfc@macquariefootball.net.au
