AFL Womens' League Player Visits Ruyton Junior School

AFL Womens' League Player Visits Ruyton Junior School

Western Bulldogs player in the AFLW League, Ms Laura Bailey, joined us on Friday morning and spoke to the girls about her experience within the AFLW and the opportunities the competition has given her.

Playing AFLW creates great opportunities for the girls but also brings its own set of challenges. The realities of balancing full-time work and playing the game she loves means that Laura’s schedule during the season is extremely busy. Laura then played kick-to-kick at recess with the Years 4 to 6 girls and demonstrated the high-level skills that led to her selection for the 2018 AFLW season.
