Raring2go! Clubs & Classes 25 Little Kickers have four different football classes each tailored to a different age group. However, they have two core beliefs that we take into every session. Firstly, they believe in something we call “Play not Push”. It means teaching football in a fun, pressurefree environment. They want to give children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just football, so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives. Secondly, they believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team. It’s an approach that has bagged them numerous awards and helped them expand globally over the last 16 years. And like all their Kickers, they never stop learning. They’re continually improving and updating classes, based on feedback and input from child health specialists as well as their network of over 2,250 football coaches worldwide. If you’d like to know how Little Kickers started you can read more them here www.littlekickers.co.uk For more details about local classes call 07532180852 Email bmorton@littlekickers.co.uk Copyright © 2023 Mojo Publishing Ltd.

The world awaits the Women's World Cup in Australia & New Zealand this summer, and with good reason too. This tournament above all others acknowledges and celebrates the remarkable growth of women's football in recent years. In total, 32 nations will field teams to compete in this global sporting event. The World Cup is a platform that honours female athletes, amplifying the call for gender equality in all sport. Women’s football continues to break barriers whilst captivating audiences with its skill, passion, and inspiring narratives. Empowering Female Athletes: The Women's World Cup stands as a shining example of the sheer power of inclusivity and empowerment. It showcases the extraordinary sporting talent and resilience of female athletes, and serves as a catalyst for change. It is encouraging the world to challenge traditional gender norms and support women in all aspects of the beautiful game. By celebrating women's football, we celebrate the strength, determination, and dedication of these remarkable athletes. In turn, they inspire and set precedents for future generations. Inspiring the Next Generation: The Women's World Cup has the potential to inspire and ignite the dreams of young girls across the globe. By providing a platform for visibility and recognition, it paves the way for aspiring female footballers and encourages them to pursue their passion. In so doing they will break through any barriers they may face. The Rise of Women's Football The Women's World Cup 20th July - 20th Aug 2023. Raring2go! The Rise of Women’s Football 26 raring2go.co.uk
The success stories of these athletes inspires young girls to believe in their own abilities, focussing a new generation of talented players and fans. Promoting Gender Equality: Women's football has come a long way, but there is still a long way to go. There’s a lot of work left to do to achieve anything close to true gender equality in the game. The Women's World Cup acts as a crucial vehicle for change where stereotypes will be challenged. It will highlight the need for equal opportunities in all areas of football. By amplifying the voices and achievements of female players, it urges governing bodies, sponsors, and fans to invest in and support women's football at all levels. As we eagerly await the 2023 Women's World Cup, it is vital to recognise the significance of this global event. Beyond the excitement and spectacle, it represents an opportunity to champion women's football and advocate for gender equality in sports. Let us come together to celebrate the extraordinary talent of female athletes. May it inspire the next generation, and drive the momentum towards a more inclusive and equitable future for women's football worldwide. Raring2go! 27

Fun Summer crafting ideas from our friends... SIMPLE BUG HOTEL FOR KIDS Our easy bug hotel is probably as simple and as easy as it gets – there are many prettier and cleverer bug hotels out there, but sometimes, you just have to make do with what you have and also make it easy for the kids to join in. For hundreds more crafting ideas, go to: www.redtedart.com Materials • A large plastic bottle cut into two cylinders. • String for hanging. • Sticks & twigs. • Pine cones. •Bark. • Pieces of moss. • Anything else you can find – bamboo with it’s holes, make natural straws, which are great hidey hole for insects and bugs! Basically any natural materials are great! We also had some broken plant pots but forgot all about them. Other bug hotels include other materials such as corn and drilled pieces of wood – to provide different nooks and crannies. I love the one from Garden Therapy. Have a look for inspiration. But in essence, I would say: “think natural”, “think nooks and crannies”, “think what will last” (e.g. paper could go soggy and leaves will go brittle and break/ disintegrate). It is great to use things from YOUR local environment, as you are looking to attract bugs and beetles and insects from the same local environment. How to make a Simple Bug Hotel: Time needed: 15 minutes. 1. Cut the bottle down to size We cut our bottle down to shape (may I add, that I actually drank 2 litres of fizzy water, especially for this task as we accidentally threw out our last bottle in the recycling?? Argh!) 2. Arrange your materials Check what materials you have and arrange by size and texture – we snapped our twigs to make them a little smaller. Had larger and bigger ones. Arranged pinecones. 3. Decide on the insect hotel location and add twine for hanging If you plan to hang your bug hotel, loop some garden twine round and then start layering your bug hotel. We did one hotel for on the ground and one for hanging from a tree to see if would attract different creatures. 4.Make the insect hotel nice and cozy Stuff it to make it nice and firm, so it doesn’t get blown about!
