The Hertfordshire Football Association has opened up its 3 Lions FC Girls Programme for 2011/2012 to all clubs in the County currently offering girl's football, with clubs now selected to start delivering in February 2012.
The programme is a strand of the School/Cub Link but directly for developing girl’s football, linking Hertfordshire FA affiliated clubs to their local schools, to create and build upon existing links, support and assist clubs with developing new teams and strengthening existing teams that clubs may already have.
The aims of the 3 Lions FC Girls Programme is to:
Establish links between schools and clubs and coaching support for players/staff.
Provide clubs with an intake of new players.
To assist clubs in funding/acquiring new equipment & promotional resource packages to all clubs/schools hosting the programmes.
Give players the opportunity to play in a fun, friendly and safe environment throughout the duration of the programme and then the opportunity to progress to playing regularly as part of a charter standard club.
In 2011/2012 the programme will once again target Under 9s but will also include the under 8s age group too.
Clubs will deliver taster sessions in selected schools during and after school curriculum time. A coaching course will then be run for 8 weeks and held in conjunction with schools and clubs in the School Sports Partnership areas working closely with the schools Sports Development Officers.
All 3 Lions FC Programmes for 2011/2012 will commence from February 2012 onwards. The 8 week coaching programmes will commence shortly after the taster sessions have taken place in the schools (after Easter holiday period).
