VFLW

The Darebin Falcons continue to stand out in the VFL/AFL women’s football landscape as the only standalone women’s club in the VFLW. We are also the only sporting club in Australia to provide a complete pathway for girls and women, from Auskick to Over 35s (Masters), including a VFLW team.

Since joining the VFLW at its inception in 2016, the Darebin Falcons have built a strong legacy, securing back-to-back premierships in 2016 and 2017. Before that, we were the dominant force in the Victorian Women’s Football League (VWFL), winning eight premierships in the final decade of the competition.

Our program offers:

• Elite Training Facilities – Access to high-quality gym and training facilities at RMIT University Bundoora.
• Tailored Strength & Conditioning – Use of the VFLW Team Buildr app for customized running and strength programs designed specifically for VFLW players.
• Sports Science & Recovery Support – Physiotherapy and allied fitness partnerships through our club sponsor, Evado Studios.
• Pathway to AFLW – A proven development pipeline to the AFLW, supported by our strong alumni network.
• Specialist Coaching – Skill development sessions led by former Falcons AFLW players.
• Player Remuneration – Tiered remuneration packages for VFLW players.
• Leadership & Coaching Opportunities – Involvement in the Falcons Academy, junior teams, and our Inclusion & Diversity programs.

The Darebin Falcons remain committed to fostering elite-level football opportunities for women and gender diverse people while maintaining our community-driven club culture.
