Women/Girls Season 2021
Hi all - welcome to the 2021 football season. I hope you are all rested after all the ‘excitement’ of 2020.
This year Brindabella and Monaro will extend the women’s and girls partnership started last season to all junior girls teams from u12s to u18s across all Divisions and will play as the Bella Monaro Griffins. All Miniroos (u5s to u11s) and State League teams will continue to play for their home partnership club (ie either Brindabella or Monaro).
Our longer term vision is that in 2022 the partnership will found the first Women’s and Girl’s-Only Football Club in the ACT, using the international standard fields of the Regional Sports Centre being built on the NSW/ACT border just behind Hume at Tralee. The committees of both Brindabella and Monaro are both committed to this vision.
For 2021 all players will register with Brindabella and while noting Calwell Fields 1,2,5,6&7 are being resurfaced and will only be available for limited use after February, it is expected teams will split their training across Calwell and David Madew Jerrabomberra and home games across the Riverside Stadium Queanbeyan, David Madew Jerrabomberra, Googong and/or Calwell.
The 2021 junior season is being extended to start in mid-April, with a reduced mid season break for the Kanga Cup and the last rounds for the u12s and u14s and finals series for u16s and u18s will be played in September.
We are aiming to run a mid week and weekend grading sessions in the third week of February at the Riverside Stadium. This is to meet Capital Football’s new requirement for clubs to submit graded team and player lists in early March.
David Madew at Jerrabomberra will be available for preseason training on Wednesdays from 3/2 with Calwell becoming available on Mondays following the annual ACT March field closures.
Bella Monaro registration packages for all target age groups will be available soon.
