Girls United is a fun and exciting football program for women and girls within Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities.
- An 8-week program, with each session exploring both a football skill and a key social and emotional principle through specifically designed football activities
- Designed to eliminate the unique barriers members of CALD communities experience when participating in football
- Encouraging purposeful and safe discussions with sessions being delivered in a powerful, positive and inclusive learning environment by trained coaches
Developed in coninjunction with Football United, Football Australia is proud to partner with state member federations Football Queensland and Football NSW to provide football participation opportunities for women and girls from CALD communities through the Girls United program.
