New Women's Football Sessions
Foundation of Light is launching weekly sessions for women who want to get back into football or try the sport for the first time.
Following the huge success of the Foundation's first Mother's Day Tournament in April which saw 40 mums take to the pitches at Goals Sunderland, the fun evening sessions aim to encourage more women to participate in sport on a regular basis.
Led by Foundation of Light's specialist FA and Uefa qualified coaches, the course kicks off on Friday 9th June (6-7pm) at Goals Sunderland priced at just £2 a session and is open to women aged 18 and over of all abilities.
Our Mother's Day Tournament proved hugely popular and demonstrated there were women who are interested in playing football on a regular basis but may not have previously had the opportunity.
Foundation of Light are one of the most successful football foundations in the country for engaging women and girls in sport, working with casual and occasional players in specialist sessions through to gifted and talented players in the Sunderland and Gateshead Regional Talent Club.
If you are interested in the new women's football sessions, call 0191 5515309 or email helen.byrne@foundationoflight.co.uk
