Inspired by the World Cup?
As England Women played in their first EVER FIFA World Cup Final during the summer, we're keen to capture any females who are interested in getting involved in football (from playing, coaching, volunteering, refereeing) or if you want to know more information, so please complete the short form so we can send relevant information to you!
If you're unsure how to get involved or if you don't feel confident to make the first steps, this is where we can help! Please let us know how we can support you to get involved and increase the number of female's involved in the local game!
Here’s some information on how you can get involved.
Complete the short online form to let us know and we can get in touch with further information.
Stepping Over the Sidelines
The Stepping over the Sidelines Workshop for women and girls of all ages and backgrounds who would like to get into volunteering and coaching within football.
This programme is designed to allow women with transferrable skills and expertise from other backgrounds to inspire change within the youth game. Your valuable insight from experiences outside of football may just be the advice our girls' youth team needs to progress their development and feel inspired to influence change within the game.
You don’t have to be an expert to help our girls' youth teams gain confidence, learn new skills, and absorb some of your knowledge to further their growth through coaching.
Female Coaches Group
Cumberland FA and Westmorland County FA and are working in partnership and have set up a group for female coaches, including established, new or potential coaches across the county.
