About this role
About the Programme
Bloomsbury Football Foundation is on a mission to transform lives through the magic of football. Her Game Needs You, is our coach development pathway for women, built on the belief that every girl and woman in football deserves the chance to see herself reflected in a role model. This programme exists to close that gap and build a real route from loving the game to making an impact in the local community at grassroots level.
We impact 7,000 young people week, with community coaching at the centre of our approach. To us, a coach is a trusted adult and a role model for their players, helping them reach their full potential. 'Her Game Needs You' is built to ensure the cohort leaves feeling confident to coach any child, regardless of their ability or background
Running through 2027, the programme delivers a mix of on-pitch and off-pitch CPDs, bringing coaches together with an impressive group of mentors, coaches and coach developers.
Because football, and the young people we coach, need more women leading from the sidelines.
