Football (Women)

About

In the 2022/23 season, our main aim for the club is for all players to get back into the game and play as much football as we can! We will look to develop players abilities whilst introducing new players to the game. At QMWFC we offer the following:

  • 1st Team: Our 1st team competes in BUCS southern Division 2A and LUSL Premier. This team is for more experienced and committed players, who have played regularly prior to university. Matches are played on Wednesdays and Sundays.
  • Development Squad: Our development squad focuses on players developing their football skills and playing friendly matches with other teams, players can also play in the new social leagues.
  • Coaching qualifications: QMWFC works closely with the Community Foundation (previously Community Sport) to increase the number of girls playing football. Here we run weekly after-school outreach sessions with young girls at a local primary school. All members will have the opportunity to become a coach or referee in the local community with official FA-level badges.
Socials: With regular socials ranging from curry night to Hail Mary, QMWFC offers a wide range of activities for members to get involved in.

 

Taster Session

Monday 26th September 2022

Time: 6.00-7.30 pm

Meet by East Gate on campus at 5.30 pm, then we all walk to St Paul’s way school.

What you need to bring: Training is held on AstroTurf, so players need to bring suitable footwear for this, we do not advise studded boots. Shin pads are preferred but optional.

Selection process: There are no trials. Everyone will represent the university. You will play in either the 1st team or development squad. Team selection takes ability into account. However, dedication and determination hold high value to the club and thus the composition of the fielded teams, so there is movement of players between teams.
