This section of our website includes information regarding playing opportunities and details for each girls or women’s club within the county. As well as the two main female football leagues that we work with, the MDH Midshires Girls League & the Northamptonshire Women’s Football League, details regarding Coaching and Refereeing opportunities are also available here.
We are also involved in a lot of work with schools, assisting with forming school-club links and offering free girls-only football coaching. If you are a student, we can offer you with the opportunity to join a Junior Football Organisers course or The FA’s Young Leadership programme, Football Futures. There is also information about the elite tier of football accessible to girls following the restructure in June 2011. Northamptonshire no longer has an FA funded Centre of Excellence for Girls within the County, the nearest FA Funded Centres are in Milton Keynes, Oxford, Cambridge and Lincoln. There is also now a second tier of FA funded elite football for girls, this involves Player Development Centres (PDC), the Northamptonshire PDC is being hosted by Peterborough United. Girls involved with an FA funded PDC may also play for their grassroots teams.
