It was a busy morning at the Academy last Friday with around 100 girls from 5 local primary schools joining in the Spartans Community Football Academy Girls Festival – the second year we have hosted the event (writes Nichola Sturrock).
Throughout the day the girls enjoyed playing small sided games, trying their hand at football challenges and making new friends. Players kept their energy levels up with fruit and water which our local Morrisons store (Granton) kindly donated for the event. We were also fortunate to have local face painter Michelle on hand which the girls loved!
Our festival would not have been possible without the help of incredible volunteers and funders. Thank you to the players from SFA U19 Women’s national squad, Edinburgh University Women’s Football Club, Hutchieson Vale LFC, Spartans WFC and employees from our local Nike store. We are also grateful for the ongoing support we have received from the City of Edinburgh Council (Active Edinburgh) who – for the second consecutive year – funded our festival.
