The trust has expanded its women’s and girls’ football provision to include sessions at the school.
This new initiative launched this autumn aims to give more females in the area the chance to play football and make it easier for them to get involved in the sport.
The programme includes recreational and development sessions for girls, as well as a pan-disability provision.
Women are also catered for with the inclusion of adult football and the Bromley Belles teams.
All sessions are delivered by qualified coaches from the Bromley FC Community Trust, with a focus on confidence, well-being and enjoyment.
More information about the sessions or how to get involved can be found on the trust’s social media, @bromleyfctrust.
Andrea Ellis, head of women and girls at Bromley FC Community Trust, said: “We have recently extended our provisions to Chislehurst School for Girls, where we provide sessions for all abilities in a supportive and non-judgemental environment led by our qualified female coaches.
“We’re excited to extend our services to more women and girls, giving them the equal opportunity to access sport that they truly deserve.”
The trust expressed gratitude to Chislehurst School for Girls for their support in hosting the new provision and making these sessions possible.
The initiative has already caught the attention of local families.
One parent, who was originally nearby for a gymnastics session, decided to sign his daughter up after observing one of the first football sessions.
He was impressed by the coaching style, the support given to the players and the positive environment on the pitch.
Bromley FC Community Trust currently offers the following sessions in Chislehurst:
Girls’ football: Wildcats (ages 4–10), development and squad pathway (ages 10–15), pan-disability (ages 4–15).
Women’s football: Bromley Belles recreational football (18+), Bromley Belles walking football (40+).
The Bromley FC Community Trust continues to work with local schools, families and partners to promote accessible sport across the borough.
The trust also extends its thanks to London Biggin Hill Airport, proud sponsors of women and girls’ football at Bromley FC, whose support enables more women and girls to access football at every stage.
