WAFC Female Ambassador ProgramTuesday, June 9, 2015 - 10:00 AM

The WAFC has introduced a Female Football Ambassador Program to support the ongoing promotion and awareness of Female Football utilising key role models within the community.

Chelsea Randall is currently the AFL state female ambassador and this group will assist Chelsea in promoting female football within the Districts and at a state level.

WAFC Female Football Coordinator; Allana Dickie said she was excited to create a second tier of female ambassadors and role models to assist in marketing and promoting of Female Football.

“We are so lucky here in WA we have so many young passionate role models, this program is going to help promote and increase the awareness of Female Football through a second tier of Ambassadors that will be actively advocating Female Football throughout the season and at various events.

"This program will also teach valuable mentoring skills to up and coming role models, and provide opportunities for young players to develop leadership skills whilst promoting female football," she said. 

The program aims to have two (2) ambassadors from each of the Metro Districts / WAWFL Clubs that are up and coming players / role models.

Participants will receive a WAFC Ambassador shirt and they will be promoted throughout the District and the WAFC social networks. They will be given tasks to complete as a part of their role.

"We will also look to provide them with some leadership and mentoring Training as part of the program," Dickie said.
