After having a large amount of players selected into the newly formed WNPL side Galaxy United FC from its 2016 Women’s State League 1 side, the club turned to building its vision via the junior pathways and has experienced a terrific growth period in the last two years.

In 2018, two of North Geelong’s junior girl’s sides finished in the finals, with the Under 12s taking out the premiership, with several players taking out end-of-season honours in Golden Boot and League Best and Fairest awards.

With some aspiring juniors coming through, they will need more players to join them, as the club re-establishes its Senior Women’s side to participate in the local Geelong competition.
