The article below talks about the ongoing development of Womens footy in New Zealand particularly the Auckland Region.
The NZ National team - The Kahus -- Kahu means Hawk -- currently sit at the U18 level but will graduate to Seniors by the time the 2017 International Cup arrives and the NZAFL have said they will be there.
The number of Secondary Schools that have AFL programs albeit small in some cases has grown in the last 5 years in NZ due to the hard work of AFLNZ and its volunteers.
The upcoming two matches against the touring Australian Indigenous Woomeras will bring further development for the NZ Women.
The Woomeras - Woomeras symbolises strength and power - were formed in May 2014 as a National U18 female Indigenous development program for footy, personal growth and leadership and they toured to NZ last year as well. This is another big step for the Indigenous players and International Womens footy in general. Speaking of International Womens footy we will cover more stories as we find them.
