What is CPL?
The Community Premier League is a Football Victoria competition that provides a space for aspiring Junior Girls (U13, U15 and U17) to compete in an environment that provides a higher level of competition than the standard junior girls competitions, and allows clubs like Croydon City who have a seniors women in State League 1 programs to provide a greater level of development for their junior girls.
2025 will be our first year in the CPL and we know that our already established program will foster a new generation of Croydon City women's talent for our Senior State League 1 sides.
