Gerringong Breakers junior Ford, 18, travelled to America this week on a two-year scholarship.
Ford began playing the sport at age five, and has represented Kiama High School, Southern Branch and NSW at junior level.
The midfielder has already scored 11 goals this season and racked up 12 assists in the success of Gerringong's women’s first grade team in the Shoalhaven District Football Association competition.
This team took out the championship and premiership in 2015, with Ford cleaning up at the awards night by winning SDFA Rookie of the Year and the grand final Best on Ground medal.
Now, the Gerringong resident has been selected to travel to the US on a college football scholarship with Patrick Henry Community College in Martinsville, Virginia.
