WILLIAMSTOWN WOMEN'S LACROSSE CLUB
The Williamstown Women's Lacrosse Club (WWLC) began in 1936. Lacrosse has always been a key part of Williamstown history, there are generations of families that have played lacrosse here. Lacrosse is a part of Willy kids' lives - if your brother or sister doesn't play, your aunty, cousin or neighbour will!
Our club has playing members from 6 years of age to 50+ and has a very clear focus on junior development. All policies and activities are geared towards ensuring a family friendly environment.
The club spends a lot of time working with local schools to promote the sport. Several of our members, who are ex-Australian players, run clinics in local schools, voluntarily.

CLUB HISTORY
In 1936 the Victorian Women’s Amateur Lacrosse Association was formed. The Association comprised 2 teams, Williamstown and the YWCA … and so the story begins. Following the extended break of lacrosse in Victoria due to WWII, it was Mrs Joy Parker (WWLC) who provided the impetus to re-establish the game of women's lacrosse in Victoria with the final push coming from Mal Taylor of the Williamstown Lacrosse Club. Three clubs were formed, Williamstown (2 teams), Footscray and Malvern. In 1962, under the guidance of Mrs Joy Parker, the Australian Women's Lacrosse Council (AWLC) was formed. Mrs Parker became the inaugural President with Mrs Titter Secretary and Mrs L Rolley (WWLC) Treasurer. Mr and Mrs Titter donated the 'Fearon Cup' as the perpetual trophy for the competition between Victorian clubs. The trophy was named after Captain James Fearon of Williamstown, who was renowned as a staunch supporter of lacrosse.
