The success of the Lionesses at Euro 2022 is sure to inspire a nation of young girls to try football for the first time.
For over 25 years, the Community Sports Foundation has provided opportunities for girls to try football and progress as players and people, and we would love to see even more take up the sport with us.
If you’re new to the game and want to try football in a fun, safe environment, below are a few ways for you to try it with us.
We’ve also just unveiled our new Girl’s and Women’s strategy that outlines all of the ways that girls can progress within our programmes.
Our Soccer Schools are for children aged 5-11 to try a fun-filled footballing experience in the school holidays every year.
Soccer Schools are running throughout the summer across Norfolk and in Suffolk so click the link to find one near you.

Our Soccer Skill Centres are weekly coaching sessions for children aged 5-11, who love to, or would like to play football regularly. Children may play for a club or at school or may have never played before.
