NEHYL Girls football has kicked off on Sundays

Excited, shy and all the emotions in between were on show on Sunday 24th September when NEHYL hosted their first Girls festival

Girls age 6-8 years old playing across 16 teams with 6 wonderful FA registered female referees spent the morning at Frimley Lodge playing 48 mini matches and having an amazing time. All feedback points to doing more to help girls play more football in this area.

Some girls came on their own to join in a team , some teams had never played together before Sunday and some teams were a mix of Wildcats. The excitement the faces and even the screams at scoring their first ever penalty was rewarding for everyone involved.

All want to do this again and we cant wait to get more onboard and build on the success of this event for teams on the borders of Hampshire Berkshire and Surrey in the U7 to U8 age groups.

“Just wanted to say a massive thanks again from Hart FC for the amazing efforts of Suzanne and your colleagues for a wonderful morning of girls football on Sunday”

“As a first time coach with U7 girls for whom it was their first experience of playing a match, it was a hugely positive experience. The refs were encouraging and personable, it ran seamlessly and it felt like a day to really celebrate and champion our girls”

“Thank you for the Haribo. Can I come and play again ?”

“Thank you so much for today! My U8 girls loved it so much that they all want to play next weekend now! “

“Thanks again so much for today, the girls, coaches, and parents all loved it”
