A big congratulations to this amazing human on reaching her first big milestone of 50 senior games for the Devils – Kimmy Lawson who will be taking the field this Sunday in a top of the table clash out at Mt Barker.
This hard working backliner and dedicated Devil was one of the Lofty Ladies from our inaugural season in 2016, who after a bit of a break in the great white north, has joined us again to help dominate on the field as well as mentor our new generation of girls coming through.
Never without a smile and positive attitude, combined with her willingness to pitch in off the field, Kimmy’s value to our club extends far beyond her football skills. She is an absolute gem.
CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 50 KIMMY. GIVE ‘EM HELL!
The Mount Lofty District Football Club is inviting all players, parents, club volunteers and supporters to participate in a survey that seeks your views on the current state of junior and youth football in the Hills Football League.
The survey will take about 3 minutes to complete and all results will remain confidential.
We encourage you to take the time to complete the survey as it will help to shape the future of the Mount Lofty Football Club.
Background
The Hills Football League, in conjunction with the SANFL, have prepared a report that summarises key findings, considerations and recommendations for Junior and Youth Football in the Adelaide Hills.
In summary, there has been healthy growth of players participating in Auskick, flat numbers in modified football (8-12yrs) and healthy growth in female participation in both groups. Therefore, on face value, 12yrs and under formats seem to be working.
However, at a Youth level, Under 14 to Under 18 male participation levels are dropping off substantially (-13.7%), and Hills dwellers are gravitating towards SANFL juniors in greater numbers. There is also a decrease in the number of teams being fielded across the junior groups in the Hills and Country leagues.
The Hills Football League has encouraged all Hills Football clubs to provide their recommendations to improve Junior and Youth football from 2022 onwards.
