Family and Community Sports Day

As a mother of three, I understand how challenging it can be to keep kids entertained. With half-term approaching, I suggest joining Sport 4 Change at Wombwell Park for their Family Community Day. Enjoy free activities, get active together, and connect with other families in our community. There will be a range of sports and games suitable for children aged 7+, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to join in and have a great time. So, mark your calendars, gather your family, and come to Wombwell Park for a day filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of fun. This is a fantastic event you definitely won't want to miss!

Girls Football Training

It has been wonderful to witness the progress in women's sports, providing women and girls the chance to engage in sports within an inclusive atmosphere. With greater visibility and support, an increasing number of young girls are motivated to chase their athletic aspirations, confident that they have the same opportunities as their male peers. Schools and local clubs are now introducing more programs specifically designed for girls, laying the foundation for the next generation of champions.
