Beeston FC selected as a centre for girls' football

Beeston FC has been selected by the Nottinghamshire Football Association to be a centre for girls’ football.

Our first session will take place on the evening of Monday April 16.

The sessions will run for four months and be held at our Trent Vale Road ground, Beeston Rylands.

All girls in the 5 to 13 age group are welcome. Sessions will be fun, they will be delivered by FA-qualified coaches and they cost £3 per player. We will provide more details in the coming weeks.

Our club is now part of the national Wildcats girls’ football scheme, which provides girls aged 5 to 11 years with regular opportunities to play and take part in organised sessions. In addition, we will continue to offer coaching to girls aged under 13.

Beeston FC applied to become a Wildcats centre following the success of our training sessions for u13 girls (pictured). We now have 10 youngsters playing each week.

Beeston FC's own team of coaches is working with the football development team and female footballers at the University of Nottingham to put on the sessions.

The club will receive a grant of £900 and 30 footballs to support the scheme.

The Wildcats project at Beeston FC is led by Josh Taylor and Charles Walker. Charles, who will be attending a special training day about girls' football at St George’s Park, ‘the home of English football’, prior to the launch said: “This is great for the club and for Beeston. Lots of girls would like to play but they have not had the opportunity.”

Do you have a daughter or a granddaughter, who would like to come along? Please get in touch. And spread the word.
