From formation to A-Grade: Old Geelong Women’s makes history
Old Geelong Football Club opened its 2025 season in historic fashion, with its women’s side marking their first year in the William Buck Premier competition with two wins straight out
Old Paradians FC has responded to the pressures of the COVID-19 climate by introducing fee-free football for its members in 2022.
Due to the financial and mental stress imposed by lockdowns over the past two years, Parade made the generous decision to remove annual fees associated with playing at the club to ensure all members can have the chance to run out next season.
“The club is very aware of the financial stress and the mental health issues that the past two years have imposed on all connected with the Parade community,” club President Chris Bibby said.
“The Old Paradians Football Club wants to provide an inclusive, fun and positive environment where the young men of our community can come together, have a kick, get fit, be healthier and unite as a community to support each other.
“We hope to expand it into future years or at the very least reduce player subs to a minimum, so more young men can enjoy both the social and health benefits of our great footy club.”
