SEASON 2025

Trials

Trials for Capital League will start in early 2025. Keep an eye on our social media for announcement of dates and how to register. 

​

All players wishing to play with ANUWFC need to attend trials. 

 

If you're interested in playing NPLW, please see the NPLW page for information about trials and the selection process.

Registration fees

Your fees contribute to both the running of a season (field hire, maintenance of existing equipment, purchase of new equipment etc.) and the longevity of the club. Registration fees will be announced early in 2025. 

​

You will need to complete your registration no later than late March 2025 (date TBC). If you don't, you may be unable to play in Round 1. Keep this in mind when you're budgeting in the new year! ​

Heather Reid AM Bursary

Heather Reid AM is a founding member of the ANU Women’s Football Club, being the first Secretary in 1978 and a significant contributor to the club as a player, coach and committee member.

​

In 2015, Heather’s service to women’s football at local and national levels was acknowledged when she was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia (AM). 

​

As part of the 45th anniversary of the ANUWFC, Heather offered to provide funding for the Heather Reid AM Bursary. The Bursary will provide financial assistance for ANUWFC players who require support with paying their registration fees. The financial components of the bursary aim to ensure that financial hardship is not a barrier to playing football. If successful, applicants will have the ANUWFC component of their fees covered by the bursary. Details of how to apply will be made available early in 2025.

Uniforms / kits

The basic compulsory equipment of a player includes: 

• A jersey: ANUWFC will supply players with a jersey for the season. If undergarments are worn, the colour of the sleeve must be the same main colour as the sleeve of the jersey or shirt. 

• Shorts: ANUWFC plays in royal blue shorts that can be purchased from the club or from a sports clothing store. If undershorts or tights are worn, they must be the same main colour of the shorts. 

• Socks: Royal blue socks can be purchased from the club or from a sports clothing store. If tape or similar material is applied externally it must be the same colour as that part of the stockings it is applied to. 

• Shin guards

• Studded boots

 

You'll be provided your jersey by the club, but must supply the rest of your own kit.

​

Game days, fixtures, and results

All women's games are played on Sundays. Some games will be at our home ground on the ANU campus, and others at opposition home grounds. 

​

Kick off times are the same each week, and will depend on your division. We will update this page as soon as we have confirmed division times. 

​

Your coach will no doubt ask you to come early to warm up and talk tactics, and every coach has their own preferences when it comes to arrival times. Make sure you check arrival time, and allow for travel time! 

​

Throughout the season, there are some non-game weekends. Games may also be postponed or cancelled due to wet weather, so keep an eye on the Capital Football website, and your team's group chat on game days. 

​

Game information such as fixtures, results, and ladders can be found on the Dribl website. We recommend you also download the Dribl app for quick and easy access to your team's info! 
 

​

Team communications

All teams will setup a group chat with players and coaches. Having a group chat is important to organise social activities, drinks after the game, and letting everyone know of last minute changes on training or game days for you or your team!

​

​

Injuries and insurance

Unfortunately injuries can happen. Please see the Player welfare page for information about what happens if you become injured.

Player welfare

If something in your team or around the club doesn't feel right, the first point of contact is always your coach. If you think your coach is not able to resolve the issue, is unwilling to do so, or you don't feel comfortable speaking to them about it, please contact our Player Welfare Officer, Charlotte, at training or via anuwfcplayerwelfare@gmail.com. 

​

All communication will be kept confidential and we will check with you before disclosing the information you provide to anyone else. See the Player welfare page for more information about welfare.
