GAME CHANGERS England’s Lionesses inspire women and girls to play football

Game changers

In Brent, there are plenty of opportunities for female ‘ballers’ to improve their skills. Check out local clubs such as Kinja FC, Hendon Youth FC, Brent Schools FA and Youngs FC to get the ball rolling. There’s also England Football’s Weetabix

Wildcats programme, non-competitive football for girls who want to give it a go for the first time or play with others their own age. Cllr Fleur Donnelly-Jackson, Brent’s Cabinet

Member for Community Engagement,

Equalities & Culture, said: “The win by the

Lionesses sets an excellent example for women and girls and encourages those that haven’t started to get involved in their local team. “We have so much on offer here in Brent so

I would encourage everyone to make the most of it!” Another great way to get involved is by becoming an FA qualified coach. Not only does this kickstart a rewarding career, but you could also become a role model for the next generation of female coaches and players.
