Adelaide's AFLW players are set to make an impact beyond the field this season, with the launch of a new community program aimed at inspiring and developing young female footballers across South Australia.
The initiative, Marinoff and Maddi's Midfielders – named after influential midfielders Ebony Marinoff and Maddi Newman – will see Crows players work closely with six local football clubs, delivering development clinics designed to inspire young players, strengthen community connections, and help grow the future of women's football.
Players from participating clubs will be recognised as a 'Guest of Honour' which will give access to special benefits at a designated Adelaide home games at Unley Oval across the season.
Clubs selected to take part this year include:
- Glenunga Football Club
- Henley Sharks Football Club
- Plympton Football Club
- Tea Tree Gully Football Club
- Golden Grove Football Club
- Goodwood Football Club
Program participants will also receive merchandise, an AFLW membership and ticketing for the 2026 season.
Adelaide's AFLW side will kick off its 2026 campaign against the Sydney Swans at Unley Oval on Sunday, August 16th at 12.05pm.
