THE BeeGee’s premier women and under 23 women’ teams celebrated the club’s first Pride round on June 16 in their games against Nambour Yandina United.
The club made it a special a night, from ordering colourful Pride-themed jerseys, to providing rainbow cupcakes and painting the field rainbow.
BeeGee’s premier women coach, Amy Higgins, said herself, the club secretary and a few of the senior women planned this round to help promote inclusivity in the sport and they hoped to see it grow next year. “It’s important to have rounds like this because in this day and age there’s a vast range of people with different backgrounds,” she said.
“There’s a lot of young kids coming through that probably don’t know who they are yet so it’s really nice for them to see the senior teams doing that.”
Amy also said there was a lot of the community watching the games to support their cause, and that the club had received nothing but positive feedback.
“We’ve had a lot of positive feedback on our social media, and all the girls were taking photos and posting it everywhere, we are quite proud of the round and what it stands for so it’s nice to see and a lot of positive things will come out of it,” she said.
