Girls Football Returns to NEHYL Sept 2023 for U7 & U8

4 July 2023

Go back 11 years to 2002 and NEHYL first launched girls football in this part of Hampshire.

Our divisons initially grew year-on-year; but come 2015 the decision was taken to stop. In the intervening period interest in the women’s game has grown substantially and it’s fantastic to be able to confirm that NEHYL has been given the go head to restart girls only teams for this coming 2023-24 season. 


Having listened to member clubs concerned over the distances our younger players are travelling across the Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey borders we have successfully lobbied Hampshire FA to approve running U7 and U8 girls teams once again in this local area. NEHYL is perfectly positioned geographically and has a 50+ year history of successfully running grass roots football for children from U7 to U18 . During 2022-23 we organised approximately 370 fixtures each week for our boys and mixed teams, for over 9710 children across 764 teams. We have over 70 Member Clubs registered and still growing. 


Interested but not sure where to start? Then simply email girls@nehyl.org.uk and arrange a call with one of the NEHYL team and we will do all that we can to help.
