Just For Girls Come and Try Day 19/2/2023

Female and thinking about joining Belnorth in 2023?

Belnorth Football Club is holding a come-and-try day for girls aged U6, U7, U8, U9, and Senior Women.

Sunday the 19th of February, 4:15 pm at Giralang.

All interested players are invited to attend regardless of skill level or previous playing experience.

Returning Belnorth players in these age groups are also invited and encouraged to bring a friend (or bring mum to try seniors).

With the Women’s World Cup coming up later this year, Belnorth is keen to get as many girls and women as possible to play football.

Following the come and try session, we invite all players and their families to join us to watch Matilda’s v Spain in the Cup of Nations at 6 pm at The Clubhouse Kaleen.

The best contacts for these age groups are:

• U5-U7 Open: Ron on mini@belnorth.org.
