Girls Football Coaching-WFA Lionesses

On July 31st 2022 The Lionesses beat Germany in the final of the UEFA European Womens Championship to lift the cup.

On the week leading up to the final, WFA was hosting our Summer Holiday Camp and it was dominated by boys. One young girl attended everyday. She was happy to play with the boys but she was pretty well the only girl there all week.

On the Sunday of that week the Lionesses won in that epic final, watched by millions all over the country and young girls across the land were inspired.

The following morning, at the same holiday camp, no less than 89 girls turned up!

From that day on girls football has gone from strength to strength and WFA and Wilmslow Town continue to lead the way.

Girls football is the fastest growing sport in the world with more than 1.38 million girls playing football in England alone. WFA is proud to host the biggest and best Girls Football Development Programme in Wilmslow in conjunction with the FA’s initiative to introduce more girls to the game.

U12 Lynx

We now have 4 girls teams playing in the Cheshire Girls League. We have the U11 Wildcats, U11 Pumas, U12 Lynx and the U15’s Panthers.

U15 Panthers

We are proud to partner both Manchester United and Manchester City Women’s teams and we recently had the absolute pleasure and honour to play at Old Trafford as guests of the club. The U11 Pumas

   

We are currently recruiting girls for our under 8’s, 10’s, 12’s and 14’s teams.

U11 Wildcats

Whether you’re a beginner and just want to try the game for the first time or you want to push yourself to a higher level then WFA on a Saturday morning or a Monday night is the best place to come.

Some of the girls we have coached over the years have gone on to play at international level and signed as pro players. Millie Turner is now at Manchester United Ladies and is an England International, one of our Lionesses!

Our session’s on a Saturday and Monday are about learning to play the game in a fun and friendly environment. We start off with a light warm up, go through basic skill drills and ball control and then split into teams to play some matches under the watchful eye and encouragement of our coaches.

We have girls attending from around 12 different schools in the area so you’ll no doubt make new friends and we occasionally organise trips to watch Manchester United and City Ladies play. We also organise friendly matches against other girls teams around South Manchester too.

So what are you waiting for? Come along to our Saturday morning or Monday night session’s and join in!
