We are trailblazers in women’s sports. We were formed when a group of women chose not to be an afterthought in a club focussed on and run by men. They started their own club in 1991 then known as the Fairfield Falcons. We were the first standalone Women’s Aussie Rules club. The Darebin Falcons are now the only standalone VFLW team. We push boundaries. In 1995 the Falcons President, Sal Rees, entered the AFL draft “to see what would happen”. In 2000 we re-named as the Darebin Women’s Sports Club to reflect the addition of sports. Nowadays we have women, girls and gender diverse people playing 4 sports in more than 40 teams. We pride ourselves on our amazing club culture, inclusive nature and ability to keep pushing boundaries of how we use sport to benefit our community.
