WA 16s Squad For 2025 ConfirmedMonday, March 24, 2025 - 11:23 AM

A 26 strong playing group has been selected as part of the WA Girls 16s squad for 2025.

West Perth and Peel Thunder are strongly represented with eight players coming out of the Falcons and six from the Thunder.

Ellie Lambkin, Talent Specialist - Female Programs at WA Football is excited about the group which will play for their state.

“The squad this year is a diverse mix of representatives from all over the state with six regional players, five indigenous players and one multicultural player,” Lambkin said.

“This showcases the great work that WA Football staff, WAFL clubs and regional leagues are doing in the female pathway to provide opportunities to a vast range of athletes to connect with the talent pathway.”

New 16s coach Kate Orme has high hopes for the group.

“The coaching group and I are thrilled for the girls to crack in against South Australia and Queensland,” Orme said.

“The playing squad has a strong mix of height, speed and skill and they are gelling well on the track.

“The group has had a focus on technical and tactical skills as well as athletic development, preparing them well for our national championship matches as well as their future careers in football.

“The coaches have been impressed with the girls’ drive to improve at each session and can’t wait for them to show their strengths on the national stage.”

WA’s first National Championship match will be against South Australia at Revo Fitness Stadium on Sunday the 6th of April at 11.30am.
