Gender specific team proposal for 2026, Wallace Minor Soccer in conjunction with the North Perth Soccer League (NPSL), are experimenting with gender specific teams.
When and where applicable, clubs within NPSL will create gender specific soccer teams from U6 to U19 age categories - creating a female and male league.
However, if numbers from a specific gender cannot support a full team, two possible options may occur;
1) The player (male or female) who do not have enough to support a full team will combine with the closest center to support a single team
2) The player (male or female) can roster to a coed team.
If numbers don't support a full team as single gender, that particular age group will revert to Co-Ed for the 2026 season.
This change is in an attempt is to provide more engagement, more competitive and provide a path way to competitive soccer for players in our communities. We believe providing gender specific teams and leagues will encourage many players for various reasons to be active.
