Youth Girls will have a ball

Now in its fourth year, the AFL Under-18 Youth Girls National championship represents the pinnacle for Australia’s best young female footballers aged between 13-18 years.

Australia’s most skilled and talented girls will represent six state representative sides for five exciting days at Deakin Reserve on Nixon Street.

The teams competing include Vic Metro, Vic Country/Tasmania, South Australia/Northern Territory, Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales/ACT — all chasing the national title.

If you’re away from all the action and would like to keep up to date on the latest fixtures and live results, click here or you can live stream the matches online.

At the conclusion of the Championships, an All-Australian team, coach and field umpire will be named.
