Play her.Play here.

Girls' and women's football across Richmond, Collingwood and Fitzroy. A free session every month, people who'll back you, and a game that's yours.

Why it exists

The talent was
always here.

Plenty of girls around Yarra want to play. What's harder to find is a session where you're not the only one, a kit that doesn't cost a fortnight's shopping, and somebody who expects you to keep going.

So Home Ground Hub runs all-girls competitions — proper ones, with divisions from five years old up — and keeps building the weekly stuff around them.

Nobody has to be the first girl in the room.
