Get into Women's Football
Looking for a new activity? Make it football!
There are now more women's football clubs in Herefordshire than ever before offering something to everyone from complete beginners to veterans of the game. It doesn’t matter if you have never kicked a ball before, are looking for an activity to get fit, or just want to be able to give your child a game in the back garden – now is the time to give football a try!
No matter what your experience – there is a club offering the chance to play football in a fun and enjyable environment right for you. Read below for more information on the options available to you.
I’ve never played football before
It doesn’t matter! A number of clubs in the county offer sessions for complete beginners and mums who just want to get fit, active and have a good time whilst doing it! There is no pressure to play competitive football and you are free to come as you please, learn some new skills and have a kick about with other likeminded players.

I’m looking to play for fun and maybe play the odd friendly match
Herefordshire FA organise a development league for new players and those unable to commit to regular weekly fixtures. Development clubs still train every week – and there is no commitment to play the matches if you don’t want to, so you can just continue training for fun or fitness. Clubs in the development league play fixtures about once a month and it is a more recreational, friendly match but still with the reward of a trophy for the top team at the end of the season

What about walking football?
This year we have start two brand new women's walking football sessions! These take place every week and offer another entry route into football. The sessions are very relaxed and friendly and if you have perhaps had an injury in the past, walking football may be the perfect way of remaining active.
