Here’s your chance to be a new SSE Wildcats Centre for the 2018-19 season

Why not join the 17 other SSE Wildcats centres in Norfolk and become a centre yourself this season

The Centres are a key part of The FA’s commitment to doubling Women’s and Girls’ football participation by 2021.

From Thursday 1 November 2018, grassroots clubs, organisations and community groups will have the opportunity to apply to become an SSE Wildcats Football Centre, delivering football for 5-11 year old females in Norfolk.

What is an SSE Wildcats Centre?

An SSE Wildcats Centre is an opportunity for girls aged 5-11 to have fun, develop fundamental skills, try a variety of sessions and lay the foundations for a lifelong love of sport. Sessions are delivered by qualified coaches on a weekly basis, either after school, during an evening or at weekends.  

In addition to providing inclusive centres across the County, we are also looking to support the launch of a new disability Wildcats centre. This centre would specifically cater to young players with disabilities and special educational needs.

For all of those participating, the aim is simple; have fun, make friends and play football.

What do I need to do next?

• In the first instance, make contact with Norfolk FA Football Development Officer (Women’s & Girls’), Harry Diggens, via Harry.Diggens@NorfolkFA.com or 01603 704050
• SSE Wildcats centre applicants must commit to a minimum of 2 year delivery
• All successful applicants will receive £900 grant as well as relevant start up equipment (30 Nike Footballs and SSE Wildcats bibs)
