futsal
We know there is a gap in the market for women to be able to play indoors with friends in a fun, social setting.
That’s why we run an indoor futsal session for women!
Walking Football
Walking Football is a format of football aimed at encouraging older adults to play again, on a regular basis.
The game comprises of the same rules as standard football, except players are not permitted to run. As a result, the game relies less on physical attributes such as speed, power and stamina - and more on accurate passing, good positional play and strong tactical knowledge.
Emerging Talent Centre
The FA Emerging Talent Centres were launched, with the aim to increase the number of young female players engaged with football. This is all part of the FA’s talent identification approach to help nurture the future generations of England’s Women’s football stars.
In Northamptonshire we’re lucky to have two Emerging Talent Centre’s, Northampton Town & Peterborough United.
