Girls may play in the Saturday Mixed Leagues, the Girls Only Sunday League or both. By playing on Sunday, the Girls Only competitions allow girls with other winter sport Saturday commitments to play football alongside their other sports. Capital Football has made a brochure regarding the benefits of playing Mixed or Girls Only football. This can be viewed here.
Mixed Leagues
The Mixed Leagues run on Saturday mornings. Girls can play in an age group below their chronological age group. For example, an Under 11 player may play in an Under 10 Mixed team. In addition, an Under 16 player can play in an Under 14/15 Mixed team. Under 17 age players would either need to play Under 18 girls or seniors.
Girls Only Sunday League
The Girls Only Sunday League is available for players in the Under 7 to Under 14 age groups. Girls Only teams train once a week with a game on Sunday mornings. We generally try to have all our Girls Only teams train on the same night and players from our Senior Women’s teams will generally attend team trainings when they can, as well as our professional coaches.
Under 7 and 8 Fun Football
Girls Only Under 7 and 8 Fun Football game days are ran on Sunday mornings. Generally, because of participation numbers, the girls play a festival day every week. This involves typically playing 3-4 short games against teams from other clubs.
Skill training sessions for all Under 7 and 8 players (boys and girls) are held once a week at ASB. The players will go through 4 fun footballing activities, based on Station Rotation, and then finish the session with some small sided games. The sessions will be run by both our professional and parent coaches.
Each weekly session will have a football skill focus. This will be a core footballing skill, and we welcome parents to support their children to practice these skills and provide encouragement and praise when they demonstrate this during a game. We will share what we are working on each week with you.
Golazo Academy
All female players can be part of our Golazo Academy. In addition to our Mixed Programmes, we always look to offer a Girls Only Academy Programme each season, with age groups varying depending on player numbers.
As part of our Golazo Academy Talent Development Programme we have Under 14 and Under 16 Girls Only teams competing in the Saturday Mixed Leagues.
More information on the Golazo Academy can be found here.

Live Your Goals, which was launched in 2011 prior to the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ in Germany, was developed to connect more young girls and women with football, and create positive experiences and interaction with the game. This typically involves connecting young female players with the game through on-field activities.
Capital Football runs an annual Girls and Women's Football Week which aims to connect more girls and women with football and create positive experiences for all in sport.
