Daughters and Dads educates and empowers girls
alongside their fathers (or father figures) to improve physical activity, football skill proficiency and social and emotional wellbeing.
What is Daughters and Dads Football?
The Daughters and Dads Football program introduces football to fathers or father figures and their daughters through a range of physical and social activities. The program aims to break the barriers to female participation and increase representation of women and girls in football.
The program will kick-off with a dad only information session to introduce the program and the importance of fathers and father figures in female growth and development.
Following the dad only session there will be eight weekly 90-minute program sessions where daughters and dads will spend quality time together.
Each session will include:
- 30-minute education session introducing the weekly theme
- 60-minute practical session
What are the opportunities?
Over the next two years Football NSW and Northern NSW will deliver 46 programs across the state, engage 2,500 participants, host a state-wide roadshow and seven Mini World Cup gala days.
Following the completion of the program there is an opportunity for daughters to connect with local clubs to continue playing and it is hoped all participants will take up the offer.
Who is it for?
The program is for fathers and father figures (stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, older brothers, or trusted family friends) and their daughters aged five to 12.
