The fi rst two weeks of the inaugural girls<strong>EFL</strong><br />
competition has proved a rousing success, with a<br />
wonderful day of weather adding to last week’s<br />
proceedings.<br />
The competition has been developed to accommodate<br />
more than 80 girls who registered interest in playing<br />
in a girls football team. Since this interest, more<br />
than 100 have signed on to be part of the <strong>EFL</strong>Girls<br />
2011 competition.<br />
Koonung Reserve, home of the Nunawading Lions<br />
FC are hosting the competition that has three rounds<br />
remaining between fi ve clubs; Nunawading, Chirnside<br />
Park, East Burwood, Ferntree Gully and Kew.<br />
Two matches are played each Sunday morning<br />
at 9:30am and 10:45am respectively with teams<br />
comprised of 15 a side, primarily made up of<br />
9-11 year old girls. Games of 4 x 15-minute quarters are<br />
played on a reduced-size ground with modifi ed rules<br />
to accommodate a range of ages and abilities, while<br />
encouraging skill development, introducing technical<br />
and tactical aspects of the game and providing a safe<br />
and enjoyable environment for young girls to get<br />
involved in playing football.<br />
For 2012, we have the aim of expanding and extending<br />
this girls competition. We are one of only a minimal<br />
number of leagues in Victoria to run a junior girls<br />
GIRLS <strong>EFL</strong><br />
football competition in 2011 and currently have a<br />
number of girls playing in <strong>EFL</strong> junior competitions.<br />
We are confi dent that junior girls’ football can be<br />
successful with this kind of interest and excitement<br />
within the league.<br />
