On the wake of the success of The Matildas a local soccer association Leeuwin Naturaliste Junior Soccer Association comprised of nine clubs from Football Margaret River, Capel FC, Mackillop United Soccer Club, Georgiana Molloy Anglican School, Cornerstone Football Club, Dunsborough Town Football Club, Vasse Soccer Club, Geo Bay and Busselton City FC, recognised a surge in popularity of females in soccer. The topic had been visited before the 2024 season and had been discussed during our monthly meetings but we new it was the right time to introduce a Female Only Soccer League.

Named the Jillaroos Female Only Competition, it is an 8-week pilot program for he 2024 season. Friday Nights Under Lights beginning April 26th continuing through to June 14th in 3 different locations, Margaret River, Busselton and Dunsborough.

After gauging numbers through a number of Come and Try Days LNJSA had enough momentum to create a sub-committee headed by Tash Blefari who has been instrumental in the tournament’s debut year. “It was just time,” says Tash. “The girls enjoy playing with the boys on a Saturday throughout the winter comp and they still can, The Jillaroos was about offering something just for them.”

The Format -Five a side (1GK+4 field player) is a fun tournament without recording results, 3 short matches, pitch size 30 – 40m, Small goal posts (3m x 1.8m).
Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive environment where girls can learn, play, and develop under guidance from experienced coaches, fostering a love of soccer from a young age.
There are so far around 12 teams, ranging in age from 7 through to 16. If anyone would like more information, please contact
