Female soccer players in Tasmania will no longer be confined to Northern and Southern competitions, with a new statewide league to be trialled next year.

The Women's Super League will involve teams from around the state, and will begin in March 2016.

Football Federation Tasmania chief executive Mike Palmer said the league would have a 12-week pilot program, with a view to an ongoing competition.

"I think the long-term vision is to have a women's league in parallel with the men's league," he said.

"Ideally, probably have eight teams and probably have them travelling together and involving as many clubs as we can."

Players have welcomed the move, with Hobart Zebra's winger Danielle Kannegiesser hoping the new league promotes better resourcing within the women's game.

"I think it'll be great to play the best more regularly and really find that professionalism in the league," Kannegiesser said.

"The development is huge compared to what it used to be when I started in 2009-ish. You just see it get bigger and better every year."

Kannegiesser said the decision would relieve the burden on smaller competitions, particularly in the north of the state, where smaller clubs were often at the receiving end of big losses.

She said a statewide league would mean stronger teams from the north play in a more competitive league.

"I find that their games at the moment are often 10-nil, 12-nil," she said.

"There's really two competitive teams up there so I find that they will really enjoy having that competitive league."

Mr Palmer hopes the new league will prompt more interest and more competition, and is not concerned about the potential for the league's stars to be poached by W-League teams from the mainland.

"I think that would be a goal rather than a concern," he said.

"We would like to see this as a really key pathway for girls to pursue their dreams and to work their way up the ladder.

"If we can produce a few talented girls that go to the W-League and then on to the Matildas we would see that as a real positive.

"We're growing our numbers at junior levels.

"Football has just passed netball nationally as the biggest participation sport for women, so all of those things send a message that it really is time to grow the game on the women's side and we want to do that."
