To all the ‘Ladies in League’, (and enormously happy to include all the ladies who now play) I’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ for all you add to the game and our kids lives.
I don’t think anyone quite understands the level of commitment, the sacrifices, and dedication of the women involved in the game. The thankless hours, the early mornings, the late nights, the meetings, the set up and preparation time, the clean ups, the planning, the paperwork. And that is just what I …can think of off the top of my head.
Week in, week out, they lay a vital platform for all of our kids to enjoy the sport they love so much. They give structure to our clubs which would not function without their support and they demonstrate to our kids the all important foundational life lessons about what it is to give back to your community.
One thing is certain. Our children’s lives would be less rich without your tireless support.
As a very appreciative footy mum, I salute all the Ladies in League. xx
