Change age cut off rule for girls in Central Highlands Football League


Change age cut off rule for girls in Central Highlands Football League
The issue
In the Central Highlands Football League, girls are forced out at 14 while boys can play on to 15 all because of a rule that doesn’t fit our competition.
It makes no sense: a 12 year old girl can play against 15 year old boys, but girls turning 15 in the year of play are disqualified from the competition.
That’s not about safety. That’s unequal treatment.
It’s inconsistent. It’s Unfair and its costing girls their chance to play.
Fix the rule. Let girls play their final year in the under 15’s competition.
