Yes we have been up and running for around 2 years. We started with funding from the football foundation and Active Humber that enabled a really proactive start with free sessions, subsidies for kit, brand new equipment, facility hire etc. We also used the Snickers Just Play later in our provision to provide new members with free sessions when they joined. This enabled us to really integrate the women into our club. We also encouraged the ladies to access the FA Playmaker learning programme and then also used the funding to put some women through the FA Introduction to coaching, FA first aid and FA WF Referee workshops. We did have a bit of a hiccup when some of the ladies who had benefitted from the funding up and left and formed an allegiance with another club in the area. We have two sides this season entered into the county league and have recently introduced a few new members into the club but despite lots of publicity through social media, leaflets and word of mouth the rate of growth has certainly slowed. We have retained a solid core of the group from very early in our existence and they not only benefit from the football aspect but also from well established friendship's that help them in so many ways. From a personal aspect I was the founder of the sessions and their coach for the first 14 months or so, it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had from football. A tremendous group to work with. I look forward to supporting our two teams at the WF Leagues Alliance National Cup Finals in Redditch in a couple of weeks time.
