Girls Football Development Centre launched in Exeter

Exeter City Football in the Community are launching a new Girls Football Development Centre in partnership with Exeter City Ladies Football Club.

The Development Centre aims to provide an additional provision for talented individuals, in Exeter and across the South West, to pursue in conjunction with their local teams and break through the female player pathway.

Working in partnership with Exeter City Ladies Football Club, who currently play in the FA Women’s Premier League South West Division, the centre aims to provide an exciting opportunity locally and bridge the gap between grassroots football.

The initial Open Trial Session will take place on Thursday, March 30 2017, at the new 3G development at Cliff Hill Training Ground (EX5 1DP) from 6.30pm to 8pm.

The session will be open to U12’s, U14’s and U16’s (Under-12s are school years six and seven, Under-14s are school years eight and nine and Under-16s are school years 10 and 11).

Donna Langdon, Women and Girls Development Coordinator at Exeter City Football in Community said: “We recognise the outstanding work of local youth clubs, and aim for the centre to support and expand upon their hard work. The centre provides an excellent opportunity to further develop players, and aid the number of girls progressing through to regular engagement within women’s football.”
