Perth Angels Take on AFL Fitness Testing

13 Mar 2016 by Emily Purcell

Perth Angels from the Talent Academy and Development Squad took on the challenge of AFL fitness testing this morning with tests including the beep test, 100m sprint, vertical leap and more. The results of this testing will be submitted to the AFL for use by prospective clubs looking to field a women’s side in the 2017 national competition. At the moment, 10 AFL teams including both West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers have expressed interest in taking on female sides for the competition, more details on this will be released in May this year. Congratulations to our talented Angels for being selected and committing to the WA talent program. We hope to see you representing Perth Angels at the highest level in the not too distant future!
