The era of football as a boys-only sport is fading fast – a global audience of 50 million tuned in to watch the Lionesses Euro 2022 win, forever banishing the concept of a lack of interest in women’s football and turning a generation of girls into aspiring footballers.
So, Brent Cross Town is thrilled to announce that it’s sponsoring the Barnet Nightingales Football Club‘s free football academy.
The community training programme offers daily football classes for girls aged 6 – 16, with every session led by a UEFA qualified coach. Players from London City Lionesses, London’s first independent fully professional women’s club, are also on hand to offer expert advice and guidance.
Every week until 31 August 2023, Barnet Nightingales will hold 10 free football coaching sessions, open to all 6 – 16 year old girls. Whether they’re absolute beginners or skilled players, girls are invited to book a session and come along. There’s no limit to the amount of sessions you can book.
The Barnet Nightingales FC is the second largest club in the London Capital Girls League, London’s largest league with over 40 clubs, 125 teams and some 2,000 girls playing in the 22/23 season.
Barnet Nightingales was established in 2015 with a mission to develop grassroots girl’s football in Barnet and provide a pathway for female players to progress their careers. The club now has 11 teams and 150 players between 7 and 17 years old.
Brent Cross Town is proud to be part of this campaign to help girls get involved in football, which supports it’s commitment to enable greater diversity and inclusion in sports and play activities.
