Girls Football Craze Reaches Rothbury
Following in-school coaching by Community Football Coach, Katy Taylor in Rothbury First Schools, and a 3 Lions FA Course delivered as part of the NFA School-Club link programme at Dr Tomlinson Middle school, a Fun Day was held on Sunday March 30th in Rothbury.
The Fun Day was supported by Rothbury Juniors FC, Northumberland Sport, Rothbury area School Sports Coordinator; Chris Hinson, Katy Taylor and Active Alnwick.
The day was attended by 16 girls aged between 7 & 13, and thoroughly enjoyed by all; coaches and participants alike. Abby Appleton a Rothbury Juniors FA qualified coach, is now going to offer regular coaching sessions to the girls and it is hoped that Rothbury Juniors will be able to enter an U12 and U14 team in next seasons Girls Rural 5s League.
