What should my daughter wear?

We recommend that girls wear comfortable sportswear and closed-toe shoes but most providers will let you wear anything you want. If she's a budding goalkeeper, we recommend packing her a pair of gloves. Many of the Weetabix Wildcats providers host fancy dress days where, if your daughter wants to, she can dress up for the session.

Does my daughter need to bring anything?

We provide all the equipment for the activities, so no need to send your daughter with anything other than a drink, lots of energy and a smile!

My daughter needs some extra help. Can she still come to Weetabix Wildcats?

Yes. We believe that football is for everyone. We want to ensure that every girl has an opportunity to take part and has a great experience. Your local provider can adapt what they do to suit your child. If they need a bit of extra help, a parent, carer or siblings can join them.

Can I come along to watch during the session?

Yes, absolutely. Parents, carers and siblings are also encouraged to stay, watch and get involved!

 

Is there an opportunity for me to help out with the sessions?

Yes. If you want to help out speak to your local Weetabix Wildcats provider lead to find out how you can get involved.
