girls football coaching

Welcome to the

Girls Football Coaching

Home Page

We have started the "Girls Football Coaching" sessions,

to give girls the chance to enjoy football in a fun relaxed environment,

where they are not competing with boys, who have had a few more years experience at playing the game,

this should help to build their own confidence, which in turn will help develop their own footballing ability.

If we come across some players that need to progress to a higher level, then we will arrange a trial for them at a centre of excellence,

We would like to see more girls playing football, and if we can get them to start at the same age as boys (5-6) even better,

The more younger girls there are out there playing, the easier it will be to lower the starting age of leagues, at the moment in this area the starting age group is under 10's

The younger they start, the more experience they gain, which will have a fantastic knock on effect when it comes to finding girls to play at the higher level,

I made the decision 2 and half years ago to concentrate on coaching girls only, there are plenty of coaches out there for boys, but not many that want to coach girls, and having seen my daughter come up against some chauvinistic male coaches, i decided to try and make a bit of a difference,

So here we go, lets get coaching, and remember this saying

"Practice Makes Permanant"
