Women's Football in Hertfordshire

Women's football continues to prosper partly due to an increase in girls football.  It is hoped that in light of the recent Women's World Cup in September this year that the women's game carries on encouraging more 16+ females into the game.

 

In Hertfordshire we have 21 affiliated clubs registering a total of 26 teams playing in and around the County.

One initiative which has taken off in 2008 is the Get Back Into sessions.  This is a fun way to get fit in 2008 for Ladies only.  The aim of the sessions is to have fun, learn a few football skills and play a few games. It doesn't matter if you are unfit, haven't played for a while or have never played before - everyone is welcome. 
Venue: The Arena, Norton Road, Baldock, SG7 5AU
Cost: £1 per session (payable on the night)
Day & Time: Thursday's 8.30 - 9.30pm (then relax after in the Arena cafe bar!)

Female women's teams affiliated to the Hertfordshire A compete across a number of leagues and divisions (see related documents opposite, Women’s League Structure).

Step 6: of the Women's League Structure is the Beds and Herts Women's County League which merged in 2006/2007 to form a more sustainable and competitive opportunity at that level.  The joint women's league have 270 players registered within 12 teams, 6 of those are Hertfordshire clubs: Hitchin Hearts, Leverstock Green, Sherrardswood Ladies, Stevenage Borough Vixens FC, Watton Ladies and Hoddesdon Owls.

Step 1: at the other end of the structure Hertfordshire is represented by Watford Ladies FC who recently gained promotion to The FA National Women's Premier League and after a successful summer are current FA Futsal Cup and Fives Champions! 

If you are interested in joining any of the teams in the County league or any other as a player, coach or volunteer please do not hesitate to contact Louisa Suff at the Herts FA.

FYI: Women football teams predominately kick off their games at 2.00pm on a Sunday.
