Australia’s fastest-growing female sport will return to towns across the region with a series of come-and-try sessions planned between October and December.

The next one will be held in Port Macquarie on October 21 with November 15 and December 14 also set aside.

A four team youth girls competition started this season with over 100 registered players, and with 65 women having played in exhibition matches in 2017, plans have started for a North Coast women's competition in 2018.

Northern NSW development manager Matt Crawley said the response had been overwhelming.

"Every time we've run a session we've had new ladies come and join in and we get new people contact us regularly,” he said.

“These sessions will give more women and girls the chance to try the sport.

“We're also branching out into new areas so this will make the sport much more accessible to people in those areas."

Sessions will be run by female development staff and are non-contact.

Not only will players have the chance to learn the skills of the sport, it's also a great chance to keep fit over summer with the physical demands of footy including running and jumping.

Skills learnt in sports such as netball, basketball and other football codes are highly transferable.

Any female aged 13 or older is welcome to join in with no previous experience necessary.
