Swans sponsor QBE helps girls break into footy

QBE and AFL club Sydney have established an elite training program for 130 girls aged 12-13.

The QBE Sydney Swans Academy Youth Girls Program follows last year’s inaugural season for the AFL’s Women’s competition.

“As a proud partner of the Sydney Swans for the past 32 years, we’re excited to nurture the skills of our female athletes at this grassroots level,” QBE Australia and New Zealand Chief Customer Officer Bettina Pidcock said. 

The 12-week program will run across training hubs in Moore Park, northern Sydney and southern Sydney from the end of this month.
