Let Girls Play
On Wednesday 8th March, we are joining the Football Association (FA) in their campaign to ensure girls have the same access to football in schools and in clubs by 2024 as boys do.
#LetGirlsPlay is a call for change and we are keen to support this.
Research shared as part of the campaign shows that football is very popular amongst girls and that the numbers of girls engaged in football is continuing to grow. Whilst football is the most popular team sport for young people in England, only a third of girls aged 5-18 years participate each week. The research findings show that that 90% of girls that play, enjoy it, 60% of these girls that play football in schools want to play more and 91% of girls that don’t play, want the opportunity to do so.
Therefore, next Wednesday 8th March, the girls can come to school in their football kits (if they want to) and join in a whole hour of football in our MUGA with Mr Stell and Mrs Burcher.
