Connections in football
The profile of women's sport has increased dramatically in recent years. AFLW has become a full league, the FIFA Women’s World Cup is in Australia for the first time and the Women’s Cricket World Cup Final filled the MCG in 2020. As a result of this, the opportunities for women in community sport has continued to grow. Korowa is thrilled to be associated with the De La Salle Football Club; a club that strongly values community and wellbeing.
Through this partnership, Korowa hopes to see our students connect and seek out a sporting opportunity that lasts beyond their years at school. Driven strongly by the seven Korovians who currently play at De La Salle, the club approached Korowa last year. They wanted to create a more formalised pathway for interested students to engage in football, at a club that provides a welcoming and inclusive environment. Whilst playing experience is valued, the club believes in growing the game and building their player list. As a result, 2023 sees the launch of the Korowa Football Program. This program will include a block of training for interested students to acquire new skills or build on their existing skills.
This program will also support our students who participate in GSV Football teams, improving their skills and understanding of the game. Those keen on playing beyond school can continue at De La Salle Football Club.
This is very exciting for Korowa as it will allow our Football Program to be run by specialised football coaches and includes skill growth, leadership development and strength and conditioning. We already have a number of students who have signed up, and we hope to see this program continue to grow well into the future.
