ENGLAND FOOTBALL PROGRAMMES - PROVIDER GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
WILDCATS
Wildcats is an offer for every girl aged 5-11, regardless of ability, disability, impairment or health condition, to try football for the first time in a fun and safe environment. Sessions take place on a weekly basis, either on an evening or at weekends, and are focused on helping girls make friends, have fun and be active through football. All sessions are delivered by FA qualified coaches, providing a safe place for girls to try football for the first time and develop key skills.
COMETS
Comets is a recreational, pan-disability football offer for disabled children aged 5-11. The programme is focused on helping disabled children have fun, whilst building confidence, independence and social relationships. Comets provides an environment in which participants can feel safe and belong. All sessions are delivered by FA qualified coaches, who have received specific programme training and guidance to provide a safe place for disabled children to try football for the first time and develop key skills.
SQUAD GIRLS
Squad Girls’ Football is a programme created by England Football, which is supported by Sport England. It’s targeted at girls aged 12-14 who want to get involved with football in a fun, non-competitive environment and play football outside of school. It’s all about being with and making new friends, whilst having loads of fun! Squad Girls’ Football sessions are designed to help participants improve their ability across many aspects of the game. From dribbling, tackling, and passing, to communication and leadership. The sessions are designed to give the girls voice and choice and to build confidence. As a Squad Girls’ Football provider you are providing opportunities for girls to play football casually and have a positive experience whilst developing confidence, leadership and communication skills.
JUST PLAY
Just Play can be delivered as either turn up and play activity or Soccercise. It can be male, female, or mixed, and for disabled people. Players book online.
Turn up. Take part. Have fun.
That’s the goal of the Just Play by England Football programme. This is recreational football at its best. It’s laid-back, inclusive, have-a-kickabout football for adults and those aged 16+. It’s jumpers for goalposts. It’s friendship and fitness. No hassle. No pressure. Just pure fun.
