What's happening over the off-season for our women's and men's programs, and how to get involved ahead of the 2027 VAFA season.

The 2026 season is behind us and planning for 2027 is well underway. Here’s where things stand for our women’s and men’s programs.

Women’s Program

We are currently in the process of hiring a new coach for our women’s program. Once the appointment is finalised, preseason dates will be announced in November.

Women’s preseason will focus on fitness and recruiting through late 2026, then move to a skills and fitness focus from late January 2027. Preseason sessions will always be on Monday and Wednesday until the season starts in April.

If you’re interested in joining our women’s program, or would like to learn more about it, email us at oldgeelongfc@gmail.com or contact our Football Director, Celia, on 0438 020 035.

Men’s Program

There are no men’s preseason sessions until late January 2027. If you’d like to find out more about joining the team before then, email us at oldgeelongfc@gmail.com.

The planned men’s teams for 2027 are:

  • Men’s U19, back for the first time in over five years
  • Men’s Seniors
  • Men’s Reserves
