Programme Spotlight: Wildcats
In the first of our monthly programme spotlights we are taking a closer look at Wildcats, the FA-funded programme aimed at engaging girls aged five to 11 in football.
We are really excited to be working with the EFL Trust on this programme as it offers something really unique for fans to take part in. The sessions run inside the Stadium of Light and it is a fantastic opportunity to see the Stadium in a new and different way.
Liz Barton-Jones, Head of Sports Development at the Foundation of LightPaul, from Wycombe said “I was a bit wary that the training element might be too intensive so soon after my heart attack but the staff were brilliant and gave me reassurances that I could work at my own pace. They were so attentive to my needs and how I could reach my targets.”
