After months being stuck indoors is your daughter desperate to get outside and play football? If the answer is yes then Henfield Girls FC is ready to welcome new players in all age groups for the new season.
The club offers fun training sessions run by FA qualified coaches for all ages and abilities in a Covid-secure environment at the Rothery Field on Nep Town Road every Wednesday (6pm-7.30pm for under-11s and under-12s, and 6.45pm-8.15pm for under-13s). It also runs teams at under-11, under-12 and under-13 level, which play games on Sunday mornings during the season and in tournaments through the summer, while there are growing undernine and under-seven sections. Ella Rosine aged 10, Hurst resident and pupil at St Lawrence, is already involved: “I love playing with Henfield because it’s a really girl friendly club. It feels like a family, and the coaches really encourage us to play as much football as possible while staying healthy. They make us feel safe, confident and welcome. I’ve played in a boy’s club before, but practising and playing with girls my own age is really fun. Winning our league games makes all the hard work worth it!” Henfield Girls is also an accredited FA Wildcats Centre, which means it offers a great way for girls from the age of five to try football for the first time in a fun and safe environment. Wildcat sessions are from 4.45pm to 5.45pm on Wednesdays. To find out more about Henfield Girls FC email henfieldfcgirls@ gmail.com.
