The Swan Athletic Football Club intend to make application to the WAAFL for a Swan Athletic Senior Womens Team for the 2018 season.
Should the application be successful, the womens team will be fully integrated into our club's current structure. The committee structure would oversee the governance and administration of the team which will play in the traditional Swan Athletic jumper. We feel that a senior womens team will greatly add to our already strong Swan Athletic sporting family and would hope that all players and supporters will embrace the challenge and support our new team should our application be successful.
Please share with any women that may be interested.
