Developing Football for Girls

 A Special Day

On Friday 26th April, we hosted a film crew, with the aim of demonstrating the progress we have made with Girls' Football.  Following on from the #Lets Play initiative, our Year 8 team had the opportunity to show what they can do and were also interviewed.  Mr Phillips and Mr Inwards, along with Ms De Busen have been coaching the team for two seasons and  the numbers joining have significantly increased.

The girls were also able to use their new kit, chosen by Ms De Busen.  The team were able to explain what the sport has done for their footballing skills and for their confidence. They were incredibly articulate off the field, as they were proficient on the pitch.  Their passion to play football was evident.

Below are some of the images from the morning.  
There is a second episode to this story, which will be on the blog in a few weeks time.
