Playing Female Football at Mt Gravatt Hawks

At Mt Gravatt Hawks, our mission is to provide football programs that are inclusive, affordable, and development-oriented for players of all abilities and genders. With a strong commitment to fostering a sense of community and belonging, we are proud to be at the forefront of growing girls' and women’s football in Brisbane.


A Legacy of Excellence

Mt Gravatt Hawks has a rich history as one of Brisbane’s original women’s football clubs. Over the years, we’ve been home to some of Australia’s finest football talent, including Matildas legends like Katrina Gorry, Laura Alleway, Alicia Ferguson, and Brooke Spence. These homegrown heroes serve as an inspiration to our current and future players, showcasing the possibilities that start at a grassroots level.


A Major Focus in 2025

After the success of our Girls Development Program from 2019 to 2024, we are excited to announce the formation of more Girls-Only Teams in 2025. This initiative aligns with our major focus on football programs that emphasize inclusivity, skill development, and affordability. A key element of this plan is investing in the development of female players and coaches to ensure a strong foundation for the future.
