⚽️ 2025 GIRLS ORIENTATION GUIDE ⚽️Welcome to Robina City and season 2025 !

🔥 Major Announcement: Tia Venter signs for our FQPL 1 Women’s team 🔥Tia was a priority signing as she played her first ever football at Robina City after attending a Girls Come and Try Clinic in 2018. She moved to NPL Girls at GCU in 2019, and then played with the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) from 2020 to 2022 before returning to GCU in 2023. She returned to Robina City in 2024 at age 17 and quickly became a starting first team player. She made a major impact across the year as we finished in 3rd place. We look forward to seeing Tia improve with further FQPL 1 Women’s experience. Tia is the perfect example of the home grown talent we want to nurture through to seniors now that we can also offer FQ Academy League Girls programs from Under 11s. Playing with creative flair, speed and agility, Tia loves bringing her teammates into the game. In the offseason, she is a keen futsal player and will again be representing Queensland at the Football Australia Futsal Nationals in January. Our Under 11 and 12 FQ Academy League Girls are following a similar program to Tia, training in futsal once a week in 2025. Coach David Park-Ballay: “I'm very excited to see Tia back at Robina. For her first season with the Women's last year, she demonstrated her ability to play across the front line and in the midfield. Tia is the perfect example of our new project at Robina, where young talented players will be given opportunities to play in our first team. We look forward to seeing Tia back on the score sheet in 2025.”Tia: “I'm grateful for the opportunity to play another year at the club that began my love of the game. I'm keen to see what the season will bring for all the girls”.WATCH THIS SPACE as we build toward season 2025. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️PREVIOUSLY POSTED FQPL 1 Womens training is now OPEN training.
