Footballers of Tomorrow
the top female sport
pride of essex
We’re proud of Essex’s girls football structure, which makes football the top female sport in our county. Players enjoy participating in affiliated leagues, recreational football and cup competitions.
Our Football Development Team are here to help you with matters relating to leagues, team development, school-club link projects, taster sessions and club meetings - all to ensure the development of girls’ football continues.

Development of talent
We run a Player Development Centre, in partnership with She Can Play UK, which runs from September until March each football season, and supports the development of talented girls.
We also organise our Regional Talent Club, which is designed to create opportunities for girls to progress up the Football Talent Pathway into regional and national football camps and teams.
