Are you looking for a fun way for girls 5-11 to get involved with football? Then look no further! Wildcats is the place to be, everyone is super awesome; from the friends you’ll meet to The FA qualified coaches and volunteers who deliver the sessions.

So, what is Wildcats? Wildcats is an offer for every girl aged 5-11, regardless of ability, disability, impairment or health condition, to try football for the first time in a fun, safe environment.  Sessions take place on a weekly basis, either evenings or at weekends, and are focused on helping girls make friends, have fun and be active through football.  All sessions are delivered by FA qualified coaches, providing a safe place for girls to try football for the first time and develop key skills.

Why have we created Wildcats? 

The Wildcats Programme was introduced to address the findings that only 3% of all mini soccer teams cater exclusively for girls and as such only 41% of girls (compared to 95% of boys) under the age of 10 regularly play football. 
‘Therefore we wanted to create a sustainable Wildcats network where girls can regularly attend fun and engaging sessions.’
