FSC is taking the lead in football development for the growing number of young girls playing the game and is introducing programs as part of a Girls Development Pathway.

There are currently 2700 female players in FSC registered competitions, with over 2000 female junior players. 

To encourage participation and development FSC is very proud to announce some exciting new initiatives focussing on development specifically for our younger female participants.

The programs have been endorsed by Alan Stajic the newly appointed Matilda’s coach.  Glenn Fontana the FSC Technical Director has initiated the programs to encourage further participation and to cater for the growing interest of females playing the game.   

“This is an exciting period for football and the growth of females in the sport.  We at FSC are always looking at ways to encourage participation in women’s sport and cater for all players no matter what level they aspire to play” Fontana said.  

The program will be overseen by Glenn and FSC highly qualified coaching staff.
