The West Australian Football Commission is forecast to record strong participation growth again in 2016 when census numbers are finalised at the end of the season.

Last year, WA recorded the largest participation growth in Australia for the core areas of Auskick and Club Football, with Auskick numbers growing by 22.7% to almost 40,000 participants, while Club Football increased by 4% to 62,536.

The next closest was South Australia with 3% growth in both of these fundamental segments.

Total football participation for 2015 in WA was 224,842, which equated to 9% overall growth. This included 23.5% in Female Football participation, 15.6% in Veterans, 5.4% in Junior Football and 0.5% in Youth Football.
