FOOTY 4 MUMS RETURNS FOR 2012

The West Perth Football District are excited to announce that Footy 4 Mums will return again in 2012, bigger and better than ever! The District has been conducting Footy 4 Mums Skills Sessions for the past 5 years with outstanding results of more mothers having the confidence and skills to have a kick with their children in the back yard or at the local oval.

In 2012, the West Perth District will take a more structured approach to the skills sessions covering the topics of; introduction to football and female football options, basic skills and drills, introduction to umpiring (covering basic signals and any burning questions for our umpiring expert), introduction to AFL 9's the exciting new brand of Social AFL perfect for ladies wanting to test their skills and finishing with a game on Arena Joondalup- the home of the West Perth Falcons and Joondalup Falcons.

“Research shows that it is the mother figure of the household that dictates what sport kids play,” says Andrew Ridley, West Perth District Manager. “By educating mum’s about the game of football we provide footy skills which gives them confidence to get out in the backyard to kick a ball with the kids as well as educating mum’s about the fun, safe game of football.”

Footy 4 Mums will be held on Monday nights from 7pm-8pm at Arena Joondalup starting on Monday 30th April 2012 and will run for 6 weeks. The program is open to all ladies and their is no minimum fitness or skill requirement and participants are encouraged only to do what they feel comfortable with.

So, grab a buddy from school or the local footy club and sign up to learn more about our great game of AFL.
