GFC FEMALE PLAYERS IN 2024
At Gordon FC we aim to provide a positive environment for our female community members – players, coaches, managers, referees, care-givers and committee members.
It is fantastic to see an increasing number of girls and women playing, and we are keen to work with our players and community to provide mixed and girls-only teams.
In 2023 we were able to provide free weekly skills-development training to all of our female players. This was possible, thanks to the NSW Government Football Legacy Fund.

G6-G18 SAPPHIRES (GIRLS ONLY)
See the Player Info page for age group classifications and below on the various female age categories:
G6 / G7 Hub
Girls aged 5-7. These sessions introduce the players to the game and consist of skills and small-sided games (4 a side format with no goalkeeper). They are at 9-10am on Sundays at alternating venues - Lindfield Sports Centre & Toolang Oval, St Ives. There is a draw to assist with organisation although the format for this age group is flexible and often based on who is there on the day (ie. if you only have 3 players you play 3 v 3 or borrow from another team). See more on the competition format. A parent-manager is required for basic team coordination. Optional training on Tuesday afternoons.
