She Plays Gala Day is our celebration of female football during Female Football Week 2026 open to girls teams from any Football South Coast registered club, U6 through to U12.
It’s a fun evening of small-sided games at Panorama Oval. Teams play multiple 20-minute matches throughout the night, so every player gets plenty of time on the ball. The canteen and BBQ will be running, so families can settle in and make a night of it.
This event is about getting girls on the field and celebrating the game. There are no ladders, no grand finals and no pressure – just good football in a great community atmosphere. Every player goes home with a ribbon on the night.
We’re proud to be hosting She Plays as part of Female Football Week 2026, supported by a NSW Government Local Sports Grant by Anna Watson MP, Member for Shellharbour.
