ABC News | Kyneton Football and Netball Club's women's team made the decision to break away from the club in the wake of what players describe as a "horrible, volatile environment", while the club maintains it has always been as inclusive as possible.

Player and president of the newly formed Kyneton Women's Eagles Football Club Natalie Korinfsky said the group of 35 women's players decided to make a stand and go out on their own after claims of inequitable treatment and disrespect from the club had left them "completely distressed".

This comes as players spoken to by ABC Sport from other clubs around the state claim poor treatment, inequitable access to resources and a lack of support from their football clubs.

It follows research by the Victorian government, which uncovered almost a third of women who play community sport in Victoria had considered leaving their club due to inequitable treatment.

"You just think, how can you stay at a club that is like this?"
