Premier League Fans Fund
Empowering Women and Girls Through Football
Through our Premier League Fans Fund project, we are creating more opportunities for women and girls to get involved in football and experience live professional football at Cheltenham Town FC.
We work with schools, colleges, universities, sports centres, football teams and youth organisations, delivering fun football sessions that build skills, confidence and enjoyment.
Sessions also promote positive mental health, including discussions around the 5 Steps to Mental Wellbeing and the benefits of staying active.
Participants receive free tickets to Cheltenham Town FC home matches, giving them the opportunity to enjoy a positive matchday experience and see professional football first hand.
We also offer free Matchday Fan Zone experiences for girls’ football teams and organisations supporting women and girls.
The programme is open to women and girls of all ages and abilities, including those who may have had limited opportunities to take part in football. We have also seen a fantastic response from SEND schools, with participants benefiting from both the sessions and matchday experience.
GIRLS ONLY EVENING SESSIONS
Our Girls Only Weekly Football Sessions provide a fun, welcoming and supportive environment for girls AGED 8 – 14 years to enjoy football, build confidence and develop their skills.
Thanks to funding from the Premier League Fans Fund, the sessions give girls the opportunity to get involved in regular football, learn new skills, make friends and enjoy being active in a positive environment.
Whether they are new to football or already love the game, the sessions are open to girls of all abilities. Our qualified coaches create engaging sessions focused on developing football skills, teamwork, confidence and enjoyment.
Come along, get involved and enjoy football in a supportive girls only environment.
The girls only sessions have increased my confidence and helped me improve my football. I have made new friends and it has opened up a whole new world of football for me. I love the coaches and would definitely recommend the sessions to other girls!
