The Belonging, Well Being and Leadership Project

Game on girls MUMFC

MUMFC gives a high 5 to the Government of Western Australia and the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport for supporting MUMFC with a Game on Girls Grant (The Belonging, Wellbeing and Leadership Project) to grow their girls football community and programmes. The 13-17 years girls age is recognised as a major drop out space in sport and MUMFC have strategies to change that!

The club is already mentoring girls and coaches, educating our families and coaching teams with visits by Gaining Ground, Productivity Coaches, specialist Goal keeper trainers and on the grass coaching sessions by our technical team.

The Belonging, Wellbeing and Leadership Project will provide more great opportunities for the girls to become better footballers and human beings at MUMFC.

Watch this space while we rally the troops, collate the great minds and get some more action happening.
If you want to be a part of this changing growing space at MUMFC, reach out by emailing us at:

MUMFC
MUMFC welcome new Coaches; Desire (Gilles) Monty and Preston Gilling into the southern corridors largest football club and a rapidly expanding Female Football Pathway. The club is moving into 2026 after three solid years of unprecedented growth in the football space.
To align with that growth, Gilles and Preston are appointed to Coach the club’s 2026 First Division Team. Off the back of 6 years of NPLW football, MUMFC is in rebuild phase ready for a unified and strong pathway for female football and an end game of re-entry to NPLW.
Along with a newly formed Technical Team, MUMFC will concentrate heavily on supporting the education and growth of its coaches and players through the Football Mastery programme, coaching workshops overseen by the club’s Technical Directors and engagement hubs designed to bring the members together on a regular basis for technical development and social and strategic collaborations.
Gilles will lead as Head Coach with his incredible passion for football and a drive to make MUMFC a leader in WA football in the girls and women’s space over the next 5 years. Gilles comes to MUMFC from Subiaco AFC with a resume that includes UEFA B accreditation, elite football academy experience as a TD and a professional playing portfolio with silverware from his homeland Mauritius and Singapore, Murdoch University and representing Australia alongside former Melville player Vince Matassa at the World University Games.
Assistant Coach, Preston Gilling, is the first team goal keeper with the MUMFC MSL squad. He started his coaching journey with SEDA College and helped Perth AFC Women to their First Division title in 2024. In 2025 Preston stepped into the MUMFC NPLW 21’s as part of a young coaching team.
Both Gilles and Preston have previously worked together at Perth Glory and have now teamed up at MUMFC to share their energy and help grow the rapidly expanding MUMFC Female Football Pathway.

MUMFC GIRLS AND WOMEN’S PROGRAMMES

MUMFC GIRLS AND WOMEN’S PROGRAMMES

At MUMFC we are very proud to be supporting 15 female teams that provide a complete pathway from mini footballers to junior girls, women and NPLW competitions. The unprecedented growth at our club in the last two years and since the WWC, has not been without pain as the club works hard to keep on top of the growth! MUMFC volunteers have worked tirelessly to provide more and more resources to this space and improve the framework to allow girls and women to grow and be safe as members of our club and community.

Some of the partners and programmes MUMFC have implemented to facilitate safe spaces and create opportunities for leadership and development for female football include Fernwood Fitness for female only fitness sessions and winter programmes, Gaining Ground to educate players about mental well being, Perth Glory for coaching education and some extra fun, Goal keeping training by Miranda Templeman, which aimed at upskilling our teenage keepers and then those teenage keepers training the primary school aged keepers, Football West on line and in person events at the State Football Centre, through the Women In Football Leadership Programme and Club Changer education programme, which aims to enhance clubs compliances, resilience, inclusivity and help make them stronger.

In 2025 the club set up Age Coordinators in the female football pathway for the very first time and engaged an Operational Manager for the NPLW space to support the coaching team and player movement in the 18-first team pathway.

MUMFC welcome volunteers to work in this space to help our families, create pathways for young stars and build mateship for life.
