Westmorland Girls Wildcats Football Session
The next Wildcat Session is on
Wednesday 26 April 4.30pm - 5.30pm at the Kendal Millennium Playing Field
Sessions are free and ideal for beginners and existing club/school players ages 4 -11 years old.
The programme will see 200 SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football Clubs opening throughout England this spring, each run in conjunction with the local County FA and their key partners. The move will provide girls aged from 5 to 11 with regular opportunities to play football and take part in organised sessions in a fun, engaging and safe environment.
The project is an integral part of The FA’s objective to double girls’ football participation by 2020 and has been established in a joint partnership between The FA and SSE, supporters of girls’ football participation and sponsor of the SSE Women’s FA Cup
The SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football Clubs will run in the spring and through to the summer on a weekly basis, either at weekends, after school or during the evening.
For details of how girls can sign-up to join the clubs please: e-mail James.Pattison@WestmorlandFA.com or check out our website www.WestmorlandFA.com
John Stewart, SSE’s Director of Human Resources, said: “We’re delighted to support The FA in setting up these centres, helping to deliver high quality coaching sessions across the country to the next generation of female footballers.”
“At SSE we are extremely proud to be a fundamental part of supporting the grassroots game. This is a key reason for our sponsorship of the SSE Women’s FA Cup, not only are we focussed on achieving greater awareness of the sport at an elite level, equally as important we are creating more opportunities and relentlessly encouraging more girls to get involved in football.”
Westmorland County FA CEO, Peter Ducksbury said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for more young girls to get involved in the game in a safe, fun environment with our qualified coaching staff."
