New girls' football initiative

COALPIT Heath Football Club is starting a new football initiative aimed at getting more girls playing the sport.

Are you looking for a fun way, for girls aged five to 11 to get involved? Then look no further!

The club is working in partnership with the Weetabix Wildcats programme, with sessions starting from late April on the Manor Field.

Weetabix Wildcats is non-competitive football for girls who want to give it a go for the very first time or want to play with other girls of their own age.

Most importantly, it is all about having loads of fun and meeting amazing new friends.

Each session will be supported by Football Association qualified coaches and volunteers.

Club chairman Stuart Aris said: "Coalpit Heath are really excited to be setting this up and have a long term commitment to providing an opportunity for girls aged 5-11.

"Sessions will focus on developing your child’s fundamental movement skills – agility, balance coordination and speed.

"Girls will learn new football skills, make brilliant friendships and have fun together. We can’t wait to get going."

To register your interest, drop us an email at info@coalpitheathfc. org.uk.

Sessions will be on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you can come along and see you how get on.

Once you’ve registered your interest, we’ll add you to our list and notify you when we get going.
