Have fun, make friends, play football.

The FA have developed an initiative designed to inspire girls aged between 5-11 to be involved in football.

Weetabix Wildcats Girls’ Football Providers provide girls with regular opportunities to play football and take part in organised sessions in a fun and engaging environment.

In 2019, over 1250 providers took part, getting over 20,000 girls’ playing football. We are now looking for even more organisations to get take part and support our mission to double girls’ participation by 2020.

The sessions take place on a weekly basis, either evenings or at weekends, subject to each local organiser. They provide a safe environment where girls who don’t currently play the game can have fun engaging with sport, make new friends, develop fundamental skills, try a variety of sessions and create foundations for a lifelong love of sport.

Each Weetabix Wildcats Girls’ Football Provider is run in conjunction with local County FAs utilising qualified coaches and local facilities to offer girls a location nearby where they can get involved.

For more information please contact Nicola Hepworth at nicola.hepworth@northumberlandfa.com or phone 0191 2700 700.

 If you want to know how Weetabix Wildcats has made a real difference to girls locally, take a look at our case studies about the successful providers we have running at Cramlington United FC and Morpeth Juniors.

And as well as a case study about the provision that's run by North Shields Juniors and Tyne Met College, there's also a great video.
