EventsShropshire FA Girls School Festival
Wednesday, 14 May 2008.
The Football Association’s Development Team for Shropshire will be staging a Schools festival for Girls only (years 3 & 4) on Thursday 5th June 2008.
The aim of the festival is to support local clubs to recruit players for next season and also to give girls an opportunity to play football for the first time in a friendly environment.
The afternoon will consist of a ‘friendly’ programme of fixtures for pupils to come and ‘have fun’ in a safe and welcoming environment. To this end, the festival will be held at the Shrewsbury Sports Village (on the rubber crumb). It is felt that the 3rd Generation Astro-Turf Pitch will contribute in providing a valuable experience for all involved.
Every pupil attending the day will receive a certificate & poster of England Women player.
