My daughter hasn’t played football before – can she still attend?
Yes – The sessions are designed to introduce girls to football regardless of their experience. There will be activities that suit participants with varying football experience and we anticipate girls attending who play regularly to those who are complete beginners…everyone’s welcome.

How many sessions will there be?
The sessions will be run every Tuesday evening

What will be taught in the sessions?
We will plan the sessions to include all aspects of football from warming up to playing mini games. There will be sessions focusing on ball skills, passing, running with the ball as well as some of the more technical aspect such as goalkeeping and throw-ins.

Will I have to sign up to anything?
The first session is free and after that we’ll ask you to complete a registration form. This will mean you are a member of Horsham Sparrows FC and covered on our insurance policy.

Can my daughter join if she missed the first session?
Yes – we understand that due to other commitments, not all of the participants will be able to attend each session. We also anticipate the numbers to grow as word of mouth helps to promote the sessions. If your daughter enjoys the first sessions…encourage her to tell her friends!

Who runs the sessions?
The sessions will be delivered by FA qualified Coaches with CRC checks and child safeguarding credentials in place and on occasion, will be assisted by players from the club’s older youth teams (who already have experience helping younger teams).

All coaches and club officials will be there to ensure the participants enjoy the football activities in a fun and safe environment and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

What happens after Wildcats – can my daughter join a team?
Horsham Sparrows FC aspires to have female teams at every age group and for 2022-23, will start at Under 8s. As we run sessions over the summer the girls will be split into age groups and offered the chance to join a team for the new season which starts in September. Playing and training only memberships will be available. For younger girls who are yet to be old enough to join a team, the Wildcats sessions will still continue as usual.

How can I help?
Horsham Sparrows FC is run entirely by volunteers and each team requires coaches and administrators. It can be hugely rewarding getting involved in youth football and we offer support and training for all our volunteers – Ask one of the coaching team for more details.
