WaiBOP will pilot a girls-only winter league in the Hamilton region for the 2015 season and aim to implement it into the other Waikato bay of plenty regions the following year.
The duration of the league is the same as the current mixed format, running from the 2nd of May to the 5th of September. It will be run on a Saturday, along with the mixed football, with draws available via the WaiBOP website. Registration via Goalnet is already open and will close on the 9th of April.
WaiBOP’s goal this season is to have a minimum of eight teams in each age group and once the awareness of the league increases and the number of girls playing grows, there will be multiple divisions in each age group.
