This Girl Can

Council is partnering with VicHealth to celebrate the This Girl Can campaign across Maribyrnong in 2024, with our very own version of the program – Maribyrnong Girls Can – specifically designed to engage our community of women based on previous feedback to ensure it’s tailored to our community’s needs.

This initiative aims to empower and inspire women of all ages and fitness levels to engage in physical activity and participate in a variety of health and wellbeing programs.

Maribyrnong Girls Can is an inclusive program that welcomes all who identify as women, regardless of background or ability.

2024 Maribyrnong Girls Can Program

The Maribyrnong Girls Can program will run from Sunday 10 to Sunday 17 November 2024, coinciding with the Spring into Summer Series.

This year, we are excited to introduce new activities that cater to community interests, including Introduction to AFL, Golf, and All Aboard BMX—specifically design for women wanting to try out the sport.

Participants can choose from a diverse line-up of programs, such as Ultimate Fly, RPM/Spin Class, Walking Football, KangaMix, Muay Thai for Women, and Women’s Swimming Night. Whether you’re looking to try a new sport or join a familiar favourite, there’s something for everyone!

For the full schedule of programs offered, please see the Maribyrnong Girls Can timetable below. 

This year’s program encourages women to bring friends and participate together, fostering a supportive community atmosphere. By breaking down barriers to participation, we aim to inspire all women to embrace physical activity and enhance their health and wellbeing this spring.
