Women’s FA Just Play! Football Centres

 

Just Play! is the FA’s new adult football programme. Sponsored by Mars, the programme’s aim is to establish a number of ‘kick about’ sessions across the Country to help encourage and provide the opportunity for more adult players to play football on a regular basis.

The sessions are aimed at players aged 16+ who may have played the game before, had a break and are now looking to get back into football, for players who are new to the game or who have played very little in the past or for players who do not have time to commit to joining a club but who want to play regular social football.

 

As part of the programme, Staffordshire has introduced two specific sessions for adult female players and are looking to provide the opportunities for females to play football more regularly.

 

Two sessions will be taking place on a weekly basis, one in Cheslyn Hay and the other in Stoke on Trent. All female players aged 16+ are welcome to attend either of the sessions. The details are:

 

Session 1

Day:     Monday
Time:    7pm – 8pm
Venue:  Cheslyn Hay Leisure Centre (WS6 7JQ)
Cost:    £1.50

 

Session 2 - (Starts on Wednesday 14^th September 2011)

Day:     Wednesday
Time:    8pm – 9pm
Venue:  Longton Rugby Club (Trentham Fields, ST4 8GR)
Cost:    £2
