Watford FC Trip

On Wednesday 5th February, we took a group of 15 students to the National Day for Girls in Sport Event run by Watford FC Trust hosted at Watford FC Training Ground.

In the morning, the students took part in a carousel of football-based activities led by Watford FC Trust coaches including sessions based on passing, dribbling and shooting which then ended with a small match.

This was followed by a carousel of guest speakers that had been invited to talk about pathways into participating and being involved in sport. We had two professional sports women give a talk about their journey into sport. These were Anna Filbey – a professional footballer from Watford FC and Shannon Ryan – a professional female boxer.

The day concluded with a visit from three of the current Watford FC men’s squad. There were also two students selected from everyone who attended the day as ‘Players of the Day’. Gianna D from Townsend was one of the students selected by the Watford FC Coaches for showing great enthusiasm and positively throughout the day.
