We are looking to form girls-only teams from the start of next season (September 2022).  We are currently recruiting and running weekly training sessions every Saturday morning.  The sessions start at 11am and are held at Valence Park, Becontree Avenue, Dagenham.

We are looking for girls of ages 7 to 16.  Although girls can play in mixed football, our aim is to specifically establish girls-only teams.  With almost 3 million active female players, football is the biggest women’s team sport in England, but there is still room for more people to get involved.

Although we have been running our Wildcats for girls sessions for over the last 12 months, it is now our objective to establish mini-soccer and youth teams for girls. Mini-soccer is the appropriate introduction to playing competitive football for young girls. Girls in teams from U7– U10 do not play in leagues, they play 5v5 or 7v7 small sided football, with lots of touches of the ball.

In youth teams, aimed at ages 11 to 16, girls get the chance to play weekly competitive football in from 7v7, 9v9 to 11v11.
