Huddle – Where Girls Across Wales are Falling in Love with Football

A single-page feature on Huddle, the FAW Trust’s introductory football programme for girls in Wales, launched in September 2019 and here previewing its second phase. Huddle aims to give girls aged five to 12 a positive first experience of the game through fun, relaxed and sociable sessions delivered by clubs and partners across Wales, with coaches able to direct those who want to progress to a nearest club team while others simply keep playing at Huddle. The page reports growth from 23 sites in 2019 to 43 for the 2020 roll-out, set against a record high in registered female players in Wales, and quotes four parents on confidence, accessibility and the non-intimidating girls-only indoor environment. Contact details for Football Development Manager Katy Evans are given; the page is sponsored by Bluefin Sport.
