Fulham FC Foundation’s Girls Development Centre is part of our Female Football Pathway. This session supports player’s development alongside their own grassroots football team training. Our programme provides additional opportunities here at the foundation such as educational training and pathway into our Football and Education Programme. Previously we have also had participants progress into Fulham FC Women’s team.
Our sessions run weekly to support individuals to achieve their maximal potential across the FA's 4 corner model (physical, technical/tactical, psychological and social) with the support of FA qualified coaches. We provide an engaging and inspiring environment where female players can take ownership of their own development and learning, improving player’s physical and mental wellbeing.
