Game of Our Own Girl’s Football Programme

This week at Grace Academy Solihull we launched the Game of Our Own girl’s football programme. This nationwide programme is supported by the F.A. with the vision of giving every girl equal access to football in schools by 2024.

Game of Our Own is designed to increase the number of girls participating and enjoying football related activities. It provides leadership development opportunities for girls to become ‘Football Activators’ – creating enjoyable opportunities for more girls in their school.

To help launch the programme some of our year 7 and 8 girls were lucky enough to have a visit from Aston Villa Ladies defender Natalie Haigh who delivered her own coaching session as well as supported them in delivering their own session. The afternoon then finished with a question and answer session.
