Footballing Women

Since early 2009 a group of women from the area have been playing a friendly game of 5-a-side football at the Balfron Campus sports hall on a Thursday evening from 8-9pm. We do not take ourselves too seriously but enjoy the chance to run around chasing the ball each week and maybe all get a little fitter in the process. The group is varied in age and ability, we don't keep score and the players on each side will change each week depending on who is available to play. You don't even need to know anything about football! Many of the women hadn't played the game until our Thursday group was started. Currently we have about 15 women on our list. An email is sent out each week to find out who is available to play and then we arrange to car-share to Balfron. Most women on our list live in Strathblane/Blanefield, but we do have one from Bearsden and another from Lennoxtown! As we all have busy lives we often don't get ten players together on any given week so we would like to hear from any women in the area who would be interested in joining us.

No special kit is needed, just a t-shirt, shorts/jogging trousers and trainers. Cost is only £3 each week you play.

Why not arrange to come along one week and see if you enjoy it. As an added incentive we are talking about going to the Blane Valley for a drink afterwards sometime soon.
