This year the event has been expanded to two weeks, following the success of 2015’s FA Girls’ Football Week, to further drive female participation.

The first week will take place from Monday 25 April and is aimed at encouraging primary and secondary schools along with clubs, community groups and other organisations to run female football sessions.  More than 200 schools have signed up to take part in the week.

The weeks are being delivered in partnership with Independent Schools FA, English Schools FA, Association of Colleges Sport, British Universities and Colleges Sport, the Premier League and the Football League.

Donna McIvor, FA national participation manager, said: “It’s great news that we have exceeded our target already and the week looks set to be a fantastic showcase for girls’ and women’s football participation.

“This is testament to the work that we and our partners have put in to raising awareness of the weeks, its aims and to the staff working at schools, clubs and community groups across the country who will help make the week a big success.

“Though we’ve already hit the target, we’re still encouraging more groups and organisations to put on sessions and give as many girls as possible the opportunity to play football.”

In 2015 more than 16,000 people took part in the event, more than triple the original target.  The second week, 10-16 October, will aim at raising participation at higher and further education establishments.

Football is the largest female team sport in England with more than 2.89 million players.  There are more than 5,900 women’s and girls’ teams playing affiliated club football.

The Rangers are inviting girls aged between 11 and 17 to attend training at Brighouse Sports Club, on Tuesdays, between 7pm and 8pm – all are welcome to come along and join in.

This is an ideal way to get or keep fit whilst having fun and making new friends.

If you are interested, or have friends, daughters, sisters etc who already enjoy playing rugby league or would like to have a go then either turn up at the Sports Club on Tuesday or get in touch with Sarah on the number above.

Breaking Boundaries is the creation of Bristol Ladies and England International star Sasha Acheson. Born from international elite athletes, along with the support of the Princes Trust, the mission is to inspire the next generation of rugby players and ‘Be The Change’ Amongst other things, Breaking Boundaries provides consultancy to rugby clubs and in this instance, has partnered with Bristol Ladies to create a bespoke Girls Development Programme.

Based at the Portway Rugby Development Centre, this exciting new partnership aims to develop the existing base of girls that already play in the area, as well as encouraging participation in those players who are new to the sport.

Heidi Chapman-Mercer, Bristol Ladies Rugby CEO, said: ‘We’ve worked really hard with Breaking Boundaries to create a unique programme that will develop the girls on and off the pitch. Sasha is a key member of Bristol Ladies Rugby and the formulation of her company means that we have been able to work with someone who understands the club and the women’s and girl’s game in the area, ensuring that our vision could be brought to reality.’

The camps are split into age groups, U13’s, U15’s and U18’s and will combine training sessions run by Premiership players on rugby skills and technique, as well as nutritional advice and strength and conditioning tips.

Sasha said: ‘The program is designed to help all age groups, with camps being designed around each groups development needs. We are encouraging anyone to take part, from those players already established at an existing girls club to those who may have only played touch rugby at school. The camps are designed to develop the girl’s confidence and add to their all-round rugby knowledge.’

Places are limited and students are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment.
