The coaching was lead by Derbyshire Dales District Council coaches Becky Bryan and Rachael Kennedy. FA Charter Standard Community Club Wirksworth Colts were in attendance to inform the girls of when the club trains and the age groups they run. The girls also received a goodie bag and a certificate at the end of the day.
Angie Harper, Women’s and Girl’s Football Development Officer said “The day was a great success and we are looking to include this every year within the Derbyshire Dales District Council’s summer holiday programme”.
Rob Wilks, Derbyshire Dales District Council’s Sport Development Officer said
“The Football 4 Girls activity day held at Wirksworth Leisure Centre as part of our Summer Holiday Programme in partnership with Derbyshire County Football Association was a very successful day. The support we received in planning the day from Angie at Derbyshire County FA was superb and all the girls who took part enjoyed a range of fun activities which ended with them developing some productive links with a local club”. “Developing new and exciting opportunities that engage young people is really important and I hope we can plan future events that will build on this success”.
