The whole of football at every level will join forces on Saturday and Sunday 1st / 2nd October to promote Play
Safe. Play Safe is football’s national campaign to focus attention on the vital importance of safeguarding in our national game.

This is the second Play Safe weekend, the first of which launched the ongoing campaign in November 2021. The campaign is officially supported by the NSPCC as well as the Premier League, EFL, Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship. It’s also being backed by every other level of the game across England.

This year’s focus remains on the key role of parents/carers in safeguarding, with two main messages being
conveyed:
• Are you aware of the vital safeguarding role you play in football?
• Please take the new, short and free safeguarding course specifically developed for parents/carers, which can
be accessed here.

Saturday Soccer Girls Football Group – making a start in the sunshine!

Our new football group exclusively for Primary School age girls started today (17th September) at Bexleyheath Academy. This group is for girls wishing to learn football in a friendly environment. The sessions are held each Saturday morning for an hour on the field from 11.00am.

Coach Ella said “I am really pleased we have launched this new group to give girls a chance to play football together from an early age – irrespective of ability. It is something not widely available and certainly not in my Primary Schools when I was younger. The sessions are non-competitive with the aim for all the girls to socialise and importantly to have fun. We also play football….”

If interested just come along on a Saturday morning at 11.00am. Further details can be obtained from Club Secretary, Clive, on 07504 264 157 or email clive@juniorredsfc.co.uk

Our exclusive ALL Girls Saturday football group is for children of Primary School age wishing to learn the basics of football in a friendly and supportive environment.

This group aims for children to:

• socialise;
• have fun;
• build a little fitness;
• is non- competitive;
• is open to girls of ALL abilities.

Our main objective is to give girls greater self confidence in playing football without pressure – all of us learning together. The sessions are largely led by a Female Coach.

If girls wish to join teams then we have an option to form this from our Saturday group or we can direct them to an existing Junior Reds Girls team.

We are based on the playing field at Bexleyheath Academy (post code DA6 7DA) on a Saturday morning from 11.00am until midday. The cost is £5 a session on a simple play and pay basis.

Just come along and join in whenever you and your daughter are available.
