Earlier this week, SAFC Ladies turned up to give their support to the October half-term Girls’ Only soccer course, run by Sunderland’s Foundation of Light.

Captain Stephanie Bannon, Kelly McDougall, Natalie Gutteridge and Vicki Greenwell attended the Goals Soccer Centre in Sunderland and joined in the fun with the children, finishing off the day by presenting certificates to the girls.

The three day course is for girls aged 5-14yr and includes fun sessions with exercises focusing on skills, tactics and small-sided games designed to develop strategy and technical ability.

Caroline Ames, Female Football Development Officer at the Foundation and who runs the course said, “I would like to say a big thank you to the players, it was brilliant to have them down for the girls to meet them.”
