“At Scarborough Athletic we believe everyone should be able to play football. This season we launched our Women and Girls Development programme to enable and offer more opportunities for young girls to participate in a positive, progressive mixed football pathway with Scarborough Athletic.
We are now proud providers of Weetabix Wildcats and Squad Girls, giving girls starting out in football an opportunity to play and participate in a fun, friendly and safe environment. These initiatives are going from strength to strength and we look forward to developing female football further at the club.
