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 three open teams in 2011 - Women's Division
2, Division 5 and Division 7.
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 2011,
Mitchelton are fortunate to field two Under 12 girls teams and teams in the
Under 13s and Under 15 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 either Brenda Mitchell - Women's Director either via email

With the season kicking off in March, we extend a
warm welcome to players, their families and supporters both new to the club and
those returning from previous seasons. We wish the Mitchelton Women's Football
divisions a happy and successful season and wish players all the best for 2011.
