Sparking Joy on the Pitch: Term 2 MILO Fantails

4 Apr

The hibiscus may be fading, but the action at Stanmore Bay is just heating up! Following a fantastic start to the year, Hibiscus Coast AFC is thrilled to announce that registrations for our Term 2 MILO Fantails programme are officially open.

Designed specifically for girls aged 4–9, MILO Fantails is more than just a football session—it’s a gateway to confidence, friendship, and a lifelong love for being active.

Why Fantails?

We know that for young girls, the environment is everything. Our Fantails sessions are built on a "play-first" philosophy. Whether your daughter is a returning "Coastie" or has never kicked a ball in her life, she’ll find a supportive space to:

  • Build Confidence: Learning new skills in a pressure-free, girls-only environment.

  • Make Friends: Connecting with other local girls through team-based fun and games.

  • Get Active: Developing fundamental movement skills that translate to any sport.

Term 2 Programme Details

To give families a chance to settle back into the school routine, our Term 2 block will kick off in Week 3 of the school term.

  • Dates: Wednesdays, 6th May – 10th June (6-week block)

  • Time: 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm

  • Location: Stanmore Bay Park & Clubrooms

  • Cost: Only $30 for the full term!

A Sustainable Pathway

At HBCAFC, we are committed to growing the girls' game on the Coast. The MILO Fantails programme serves as the foundation of our Girls & Women’s Development Pathway. Many of our current Junior and Youth stars started exactly like this—with a smile, a football, and a group of friends on a Wednesday afternoon.

How to Join

Spaces in our Fantails sessions are limited to ensure every girl gets the coaching and attention she deserves. Don’t let your daughter miss out on the fun this winter!
