Gail Colling, SAFC Women and Girls Development Coach said:
“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. If you would like more information email me at: gail.colling@seadogtrust.com
We are looking forward to this event and getting all the women and girls associated with the club together, championing and encouraging women in football!”
