Parents are asked to dust off their boots, lace up and join their daughter for one training session as part of their team. How handy is dad with a football? Can mum master a penalty kick?

Bring your daughter or friend down to your local football club to take part in MiniRoos games and skills sessions aimed at building fun and friendship. MiniRoos only

Have a friend who is interested in playing football, but reluctant to take the step? Bring them to a training session and get them involved in the fun and games. Open to all ages

Your football club is a family. Match a senior player with a junior for a season-long buddy program, which may involve anything from 15-30 minute sessions during a designated training day each week, a combined stretching/warm up session, or visiting and cheering each-others teams throughout the season. Strong sense of community means a strong club, and players who remain loyal to their club.

As a stand-alone initiative or part of the buddy/mentor program, clubs could organise for their junior teams to walk out with their senior team players pre-game. A gesture of care and leadership for the next generation of footballers.

A simple and effective way to build community is with a gathering of players. A barbecue or food focused event is simple, and when coupled with a drawcard, such as social football and games, creates a fun and friendly atmosphere.

An exhibition match is a game designed to be a one off event, often to raise funds for charity or awareness. Could a team of club volunteers and coaches beat the women’s senior team in a friendly match to raise money for charity?

An expansion on the barbecue social event, a festival or gala day which is designated to celebrate female football is a great way to create awareness for the initiative and the women and girls who play the game.

A combination of any of the previously mentioned activities could all be implemented into one, family-friendly day. The added bonus of being a specific day, promoted club wide, is a good opportunity for any fund-raising initiatives for your club. 

A coaching session inviting female participants to undertake specific specialty skills outside and in addition to regular training sessions is an effective way to build skills and network.

Specific functions designed for clubs administrators to network within their community is a way for individuals to build personal networks, but also useful for clubs to build lasting relationships within the community.

Throughout Female Football Week there are a range of social media promotions run by Football Queensland. The most notable is #YehTheGirls and #YTG, any image and video tagged with these hashtags will be used and shared by Football Queensland to celebrate the female football community.
