Let Girls Play!
To coincide with International Day of the Girl, the FA launched a new campaign – Let Girls Play - which supports their strategic ambition to give all girls equal access to play football in school by 2024.
Only 63 per cent of schools currently offer girls’ football in PE lessons (with 40% offering it as an extra curricular activity) and the FA's ambition, as seen in the women’s and girls’ Inspiring Positive Change strategy, is to have 75 per cent of schools providing equal access to football for girls in PE lessons by 2024.
The after school club at St Bridget's took part in their regular training session on Tuesday, and other girls who play in school were made aware of the campaign throughout the day.
