Girls indoor football returns
The Gibraltar FA’s Girls Indoor Football Sessions returned once again this season and will run every Tuesday afternoon, as from 3rd October, at the Victoria Stadium Sports Hall. The sessions are open to all girls, aged 6-14, regardless of their footballing experiences or abilities.
“These sessions are a great way for girls to spend time with friends and aim get youngsters to enjoy indoor football whilst learning to play with a ball at their feet.”
Girls Indoor Football sessions are free of charge and are split into two age groups:
Ages 6-9 run from 4pm -5pm
Ages 10-14 run from 5pm - 6pm
The sessions have proven to be a success in recent years introducing young players to the game with reduced pressure and providing a secure, less public ambience in which young players have eased into the sport. Some of which are now playing in the senior women’s division.
