why girls-only coaching spaces matter
In recent years, girls’ football has grown in popularity and visibility—yet many young players still face barriers when entering the game. That’s why at Percival Coaching, we’ve created a space just for them: a girls-only coaching environment where confidence, growth, and enjoyment are the priority.
Confidence First, Competition Second
Many girls step onto the pitch for the first time feeling nervous or unsure—especially if they’ve only ever seen boys play. In a mixed group, girls can sometimes feel like they have to "prove" themselves before they even get to enjoy the game. Girls-only sessions remove that pressure. Instead of worrying about being judged or left out, our players can focus on learning, having fun, and building their skills.
A Space to Speak Up and Be Heard
In a girls-only setting, players are often more likely to ask questions, try new things, and communicate openly with coaches. We find they’re more willing to take risks on the pitch—and that’s where real progress happens. When girls feel comfortable expressing themselves, their confidence soars both on and off the field.
Positive Role Models Matter
Our coaching team includes women who’ve played, coached, or supported football at various levels. Seeing female coaches in leadership roles helps our players imagine themselves in those positions too. Representation matters—especially for young girls navigating sport in a world that’s still catching up when it comes to gender equality.
Building Lifelong Friendships and Team Spirit
Football is more than just a game—it’s a place to build community. In girls-only sessions, friendships form fast. Players support one another, celebrate each other’s wins, and lift each other up after setbacks. That kind of team spirit lasts far beyond the final whistle.
Empowering the Next Generation
We’re not just here to coach football. We’re here to empower young girls to be leaders, teammates, and confident individuals. When girls have a safe, supportive space to play, they don’t just become better footballers—they become stronger, more resilient people.
