Over the last 5 years Cumberland have made some changes to the way local women’s football is played. Since then we have doubled participation in the game, with our local women’s county league growing from 5 teams to 10.
The Cumberland FA Women’s League offers weekly 9v9 football for teams during the months of March-October. Offering a fun yet competitive format for local teams to play in, guaranteeing some sunshine along the way.
The league also supports Under 16 teams transitioning into open age football by falling in line with their end of season programme.
GAMEPLAN FOR GROWTH
The FA plans to double the number of women and girls taking part in football by 2020.
We have three simple goals to increase the number and diversity of women’s coaches, referees and administrators in the sport at all levels.
- Double Participation
- Double Fans
- Consistent Success on the World Stage
