Staffordshire FA Girls' County Championships 2010

 

On Saturday 8^th May 2010, the Staffordshire FA Girls' County Championships took place at Stone Dominoes Football Club. All districts in the County were represented with teams competing to be County Champions in Years 3&4, 5&6, 8&9 and 10&11.

 

This year’s Staffordshire FA Girls' County Championships took place at Motiva Park, home of Stone Dominoes Football Club on Saturday 8^th May 2010. The annual event attracted 22 school teams from years 3&4, 5&6 and 8&9. The final of the Girls' County High School Under 16s League also took place between Blythe Bridge High School and Thomas Alleyne's High School.

 

The aim of the County Finals is to provide continued development opportunities for female players, coaches, officials and volunteers both within the schools themselves and local football clubs. The provision of opportunities for young players to participate at school and play competitive football supports the development of the player, encourages continued participation and also supports the development of young leaders and officials who support the events and competitions.

 

All of the schools represented on the day had already won their local district or school sport partnership league, competition or festival to qualify to enter in the finals day.

Disability Football in Staffordshire    

 

Staffordshire FA has received funding to develop Disability Football in the County. We are looking to increase opportunity for all those with a disability ensuring positive experiences are had by all.  

 

Staffordshire FA Aiming High Disability Programme

 

 

Thanks to funding from Aiming High Staffordshire FA will be developing an extensive disability programme for the next 12 months. This will enable Staffordshire FA to enhance our current disability work and offer a more structured delivery programme across the County.

 

We will be running after school clubs, school holiday activities and weekend trips to professional football clubs including Stoke City FC, Port Vale FC and Burton Albion FC.

 

Staffordshire Football Association will also be running wheelchair football sessions. This will be the first of its kind in Staffordshire, working with the Wheelchair Football Association to design the programme. It will enable children and young people who use a wheelchair in Staffordshire the opportunity to take part in fun, structured football activity. We are delighted to offer this in Staffordshire.

 

We have also invested in our workforce. This will enable the workforce to gain the skills they need to support disabled children and young people in mainstream services. Those currently working in disability football will also get the opportunity to up skill their knowledge and expertise to ensure all sessions are led by qualified, competent coaches.

 

Staffordshire Football Association are running training sessions with coaches, volunteers and parents and carers so more staff will be trained to offer football training and activities to disabled children and young people. This again will help ensure that the football sessions are sustainable and the children and young people can access activity for years to come.
