MEET THE TEAM

We have 2 teams for the under 12’s playing in the West Riding girl league for the current 24/25 season. One team is in division 2 with the other in division 9. We welcome girls of all abilities and currently have players ranging from beginners to girls registered for professional teams.

The girls are a hard-working group in both training and matches, which has shown with their development and results over the past 2 seasons.

The coaches are all proud of the girls’ attitudes to football and the bond that they have as a squad.
