THE DELORAINE Kangaroos will have a greater presence on the field next season with a Senior Women’s team to debut in the NTFAW.
Adding to the presence of women’s football in the region, they will join the league, expanding it to 11 sides in 2021.
Kangaroos President Don Tracey noted that around 25 recruits have already started to attend training on Monday and Thursday nights
‘A lot of the girls haven’t played before. It’s an all-new experience for them. They are working on their core skills and of course learning to have a bit of fun’, he said.
‘They seem to be enjoying it so far.
‘We are still looking for recruits across all age groups.
‘Anyone is welcome to come and have a look.’
The team will be fortunate enough to have two coaches – Kangaroos veteran player and coach Brad Powe and U17’s coach Steve Clark.
Powe has been quoted say- ing ‘they will take a patient, long term approach to getting the team off the ground and employ an enjoyment first outlook.’
The 2021 roster is due to start in April, but a fixture is yet to be announced. The Kangaroos already field girl’s teams in the u11’s, u14’s and u17’s.
