As the Sydney Swans look ahead to entry into next season's AFLW competition, the best talent in NSW will be on show in coming weeks as part of the AFL NSW/ACT Summer Series.

The series kicks off this Saturday and the Sydney Swans will have two teams in the competition, coming up against two teams from cross-town rivals, the GWS Giants.

'Swans Red' will consist of players from Northern NSW and 'Swans White' will be made up of players from Sydney and the Illawarra region.

Sydney Swans Executive General Manager AFLW Kate Mahony said the Women’s Summer Series is a terrific opportunity to discover athletes who could be future Swans.

“Following the appointment of Scott Gowans as our senior coach we are ready to commence building our list, so we’re really excited to watch the Summer Series and see these athletes put their best foot forward,” Mahony said.

“We want a competitive team, and one that includes plenty of local talent, so this series is an incredibly important addition to the AFLW program and one that will enable us to identify potential Sydney Swans recruits.”

Sydney Swans members and fans are encouraged to come check out the action at Tom Willis Oval, Sydney Olympic Park, with plenty of talented athletes in action, all looking to impress as the club starts its list build for the inaugural AFLW season.

Entry to the matches is free and guests are encouraged to follow Covid safe protocols (QR check in, social distancing and sanitising) and to also bring a chair or picnic blanket.
