00:00Barefoot in Borralula, honing their skills.
00:06Yeah, and it's the most popular sport in Borralula and everyone, every kid enjoyed it.
00:14Love playing soccer there.
00:16It's been years since the East Arnhem community has had a women's team.
00:20And while they've only been playing for a few months, the freshly minted Borralula strikers are already kicking goals.
00:30I like playing soccer to make my family proud and happy to become a soccer player.
00:39The girls' ages range from 14 to early 30s.
00:42But for all players, it's a chance to reset.
00:45Most of these young girls, they enjoy playing soccer.
00:49Just get away from everything else around them and they can just come play soccer where they can have a yarn with each other and play sport and be happy with one another.
00:59There may not be an easy path from Borralula to the big leagues now, but that's changing.
01:06First and foremost, just making sure that they just keep enjoying the game and loving the game.
01:10And through that, obviously identifying the players that want to take it to that next level and create their pathways for them.
01:16Borralula strikers are making their interstate debut next week at the First Nations Football Festival.
01:23They're excited to play some interstate matches, but more importantly, to meet other young women who are excited to kick the same goals.
01:31The problem is going to be putting boots on them and keeping the boots on them, so that's going to be the issue.
