A pathway where likeminded, local, talented female footballers can maximise their personal progression both on and off the pitch.
We are delighted to be launching our Female Football & Education programme which will begin in September 2020.
The programme will involve training three times a week for 6-8 hours, by UEFA qualified coaches with a specifically designed training programme aiming to develop players technical, tactical, physical and social aspects of the game. There will also be a competitive games programme available for our students through the English Colleges Football League and cup competitions.
All of the students will be able to access an education route of their choice, provided by our education partner Bishop Laney Sixth Form, who were recently rated a good provider by Ofsted, and where the students average grades have been at a distinction level.
