The nine week course, which will be based at Marshalls Park School in Romford, kicks off on 5 February with the one hour sessions aimed at females who are new to playing football.

Essex FA’s Sharon Brownlie explained more: “This is our very first female adult football project to take place within the London Boroughs of Essex and will feature fun skills and drills for beginners.

"The flexible sessions will hopefully give those that are new to the game a great insight as well as the passion to possibly take things further and join a team,” said Sharon of the course which will be tutored by a team of female coaches.

Players must be over 16 and further coaching dates will take place throughout February, March and April.
