July is Women’s Coaching Month

July will be dedicated to celebrating all the wonderful women in coaching as part of Women’s Coaching Month.

Women’s Coaching Month is an opportunity to celebrate and promote Women in Coaching through a series of assets, programs & initiatives both at a national and state level. July will be dedicated to shining a light on our inspiring women coaches across all levels of our game, to legitimise the coaching pathway for women and girls, and of course, to recruit more women in to coaching.

Participation in women’s and girls football has grown by 187% since the birth of AFLW, but there’s still work to be done in the coaching community.

Be part of the change.

Over the course of July, the football community is invited to participate in Women’s Coaching Month and join AFLW and State League coaches, plus other industry experts as part of a three-part webinar series. For more information on the series, and to register, please click here.

With the AFL’s Women’s Coaching Month taking place throughout July, we want to showcase stories of female coaches who have had or are having a significant impact on our great game across all levels. Use this link to tell us all about your female coach so the National and State media teams can share her story via social media channels.

Are you a coach, administrator or involved in women’s and girl’s football teams at all levels and looking for support? Download the Recruiting and Retaining Women Coaches Toolkits – access them here.
