Over 30 excited young players aged 5–13 enjoyed an unforgettable day at The Nest as Norwich City Women’s Poppy Groves and Emily Wallace dropped in to meet participants on the Foundation’s Girls United Football Holiday Camps.
The pair spent the afternoon engaging and inspiring the children. They offered thoughtful advice and shared their footballing journeys in an exciting Q&A before watching the action and supporting from the sidelines. Their encouragement helped young players grow in confidence, try new skills, and enjoy the game in a supportive environment.
After the session, the duo stayed to sign autographs and pose for photos with the players, rounding off a memorable event for everyone involved.
