Welcome
to Women’s Football at Mitchelton….
Since the rebirth of Mitchelton Women’s Football in 2003, Mitchie has sought to strengthen its position in the competitive arena of Women’s Football. With the growing interest in Women’s Football, Mitchie has realised that an opportunity exists to become a leading women’s football club. In response to this and to cater to a more diverse range of playing experience, Mitchelton have expanded from a sole open women’s side in 2003 to four open teams in 2010 – Women’s Division 1, Division 2, Division 7 and Division 8.
To ensure the future development and success in the women’s league, Mitchelton have encouraged the growth of junior women’s teams in hope of bridging the gap between the junior and senior competitions. 2006 saw the establishment of Mitchelton’s first junior women’s side. In 2010, Mitchelton will field junior girl’s teams in - Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 age groups.
With a strong junior base, Mitchelton will be able to continually field teams in higher divisions of senior women’s football. The establishment of the women’s Division 1 side in 2009 provides junior players with the opportunity to remain with the club throughout their football career.
Although Mitchelton supports the development of women’s football it imposes no set age limit for girls to stop participating in the mixed junior sides. Throughout the junior teams, girls are graded into teams exactly the same way as the boys, based on ability and not gender.
The club is looking to build and expand the women’s division at Mitchelton, and are always looking for new players of all experience and ability levels to join our club. If you are interested please contact Brenda Mitchell - Women’s Director either via email
