Sunday soccer’s in a different league

FOOTBALL:

FEMALE football fans are embracing girl power and boosting their soccer skills at women-only training sessions.

Oldham Athletic Community Trust run women’s football at Oldham Sports Centre on Sundays from 7-8pm.

The scheme was initially funded by the Manchester FA and is running in line with the new programme of Just Play Centres which aims to attract players in a relaxed environment.

With the success of this centre, Oldham Athletic Community Trust will be looking to set up other schemes and seek funding to keep the Oldham Sports Centre session running.

Jamie Blood, of Oldham Athletic Community Trust, said: “The new Just Play centre has opened up an opportunity for women to come and play in a great environment which keeps paticipants fit and healthy.”
