NORTH WEST SYDNEY WOMEN’S FA
2018 was an exciting season for North West Sydney Women’s Football and our 27 member clubs. Our plan for 2018 as in most years was to grow MiniRoos Football. We managed to have a 13% increase which meant we fielded 95 MiniRoos teams every Sunday throughout the season. We continued with our Development Squad Program which is aimed to increase confidence and enhance the skills for our players aged from 7 to 12. Due to the success of this program, it is something we intend to offer every year now moving forward. This season we offered an 8-week Goal Keeper Program for all ages and abilities and this was delivered by our NWS Koalas First Grade Goal Keeper and former Chilean National Goal Keeper Romina Parraguirre. We also offered a 5-week Summer Skills Program for our 7-12 year old players who wanted more football. Our association prides itself on behavior and were pleased to see only 66 yellow cards and 8 red cards throughout the entire season. Congratulations must go to our players and the fantastic referees from Gladesville Hornsby Football Referees Association. We continued with our Football4All Pink Program, with the highlight being the Football NSW Gala Day in July. We held our Grand Final in early August and this was the highlight of the season. We played 17 competitive Grand Final games on the day and 48 non-competitive MiniRoos games. We presented 972 medals to the MiniRoos players and 544 trophies and medals to our Grand Final winners and runners up.
