Olympic FC has developed a female football strategy to grow female participation in football. We are creating an environment that creates opportunities for females of all ages to develop skills and confidence as a player, coach, official or volunteer, while supporting their personal growth.

We aim to deliver quality female football programs that inspire and promotes females in all avenues of football.
