Girls football at the Panthers
Footy for every girl.
At Eltham Junior Football Club, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to discover the excitement of football, build confidence, make friendships and be part of a team.
Whether you’re picking up a football for the first time, looking to play alongside friends or wanting to take your game further, there’s a place for you at the Panthers.
We’re committed to creating a positive, inclusive and supportive environment where girls of all abilities can enjoy their football and reach their potential.
Why play girls football at Eltham?
Football is about so much more than what happens on the field.
At EJFC, our girls have the opportunity to develop their skills, challenge themselves, build lasting friendships and experience the enjoyment of being part of a team.
Our coaches and volunteers are committed to creating an environment where every player feels welcomed, supported and valued, regardless of their experience or ability.
New to football? You’re welcome here.
You don’t need to have played before, and you don’t need to know all the rules. We’ll help you find the right starting point.

Growing girls football at EJFC
Our girls football program is an important and growing part of the Panthers community.
From those taking their first steps into football through Auskick to players developing their skills in junior and youth football, we want girls to have opportunities to participate, enjoy the game and continue their football journey.
Our annual Girls Football Day brings our girls teams together to celebrate their achievements, friendships and shared passion for the game.
We also continue to develop partnerships and programs that provide opportunities for our players to learn, grow and be inspired.
