Girls Football in Jersey
Wildcats, Fun Weeks and After School Sessions
Whether they want to kick a ball for the first time, learn new skills, or become the island's next top player...
There are lots of opportunities for primary and secondary school girls in Jersey to enjoy football in a fun and engaging environment.
The Jersey FA deliver weekly Girls Only sessions as well as supporting opportunities for female clubs on Island. The sessions delivered consist of: Wildcats for school years 1 – 6, Squad Girl for girls aged 12-14, After School Skills Sessions for Secondary School girls and Holiday Fun Weeks.
Our popular Holiday Fun Weeks, some of which are just for girls, are scheduled throughout the year.
The aim is to provide girls with fun and enjoyable sessions, helping them to make new friends, while increasing activity levels and a love for football. The programmes are all delivered by our female qualified coaches.

The Girl Only Fun Weeks run Monday - Friday (9am - 3pm) at Springfield Stadium 3G Pitch.
They are for all abilities, with sessions based around fun and enjoyment. The weekly schedule consists of themed coaching sessions, technical games, fun competitions, lunchtime and end of day festivals and tournaments.
