We’re looking forward to what’s shaping up to be an exciting 2026 season for our Western Suburbs Women’s Football Teams. Expression of interest to join the Wests Women’s teams is now open.
This year showed the resilience, commitment, and culture that defines our club — and 2026 is about building on that foundation, growing our squads, and continuing to create an environment where players can enjoy their football and keep developing.
We are pleased to announce our Women’s Senior Football Coaching Team for 2026
- First Team: Steven Rowbotham & Terry Chapman (co-coaches), supported by Carley Matson (Assistant Coach)
- Reserves: Charles Ryman (Head Coach), with Kat Jamieson-Whittle (Assistant Coach)
- Third Team: We’re looking to strengthen numbers and confirm early in pre-season if you are interested in coaching our Third Team please email westswomenandgirls@gmail.com
We’re already seeing strong interest from players across the wider Wellington Region and Kapiti, attracted by the supportive, competitive culture within Wests Women. Whether you’re returning for another season or thinking about joining us for the first time, we’d love to hear from you.
