7 Raring2go! CLUBS AND CLASSES Girls football at Alcester Town FC with Onside Coaching Redditch and Alcester. Launched in January 2022, our girl’s football has seen an ever-increasing awareness and participation across the local area. Starting with just five girls aged 7-11 our Monday evening sessions were put on to provide girls with the opportunity to play and try out football. With the increased popularity in the sport following success from the England Lionesses and Women’s Premier league becoming more accessible we had to be part of the action. Since our first sessions in the cold and rainy winter months the numbers have steadily grown as more people became aware of the sessions running at Alcester Town FC. Following the success of a summer schools’ tournament for girls in years 3-6 the club grew at a rapid rate. Since the summer we have continued to grow the club and are now regularly coaching 40+ girls each week across a range of ages from 6-13 year olds. The two teams are currently playing in the CWGYL at U11 and U13 age groups. The interest is continuing with more girls joining each week so much that we now run separate sessions on the same night to accommodate the numbers. An indoor winter venue at St Benedicts High School is enabling us to continue the weekly sessions and girls playing in the match day squads are improving with every game. Our aim is to provide a great environment for girls of any ability to take part in and enjoy football. With a focus on developing understanding of the game and improving technical abilities whilst having fun.
