Football Fun for Girls!
What's it all about?
The FAW and Welsh Football Trust recently unveiled an ambitious
new strategy for girls football, and plans are already under way in
the Vale of Glamorgan to make it easier for girls to take up the
game and receive quality coaching
The new sessions are just the latest in a series of initiatives
to further promote the sport among girls in the Vale, and more, and
more are sure to follow as the new national strategy takes
place.
There are currently 3,500 women and girls registered to play
organised football across Wales and it is the second most popular
activity for girls in Welsh schools behind dance.
The strategy has outlined an intention to help these
participation figures rise by 40 per cent over the next three years
and help develop a continual stream of emerging talent for the
national team so that Wales can compete with the world's top
talents such as the USA and the Scandinavian nations.
Football Sessions -When and Where?
Turn up and play sessions are held every Thursday starting 12th
May between 5.30pmand 6.30pm at the Sully Sports and Social Club
for girls of primary age.
All girls are welcome, whether they are interested in kicking a
ball for the first time or are already involved with a local
team.
The sessions will cost just £1 each week and will all be
small-sided 5 v 5 games on small pitches, so players literally just
have to turn up and enjoy playing football.
Girls of all experience and ability ranges are encouraged to
come as we want to get as many girls playing football in the Vale
of Glamorgan as possible.
