Full description
Phase 1 of our project is to establish the senior women's team of Huntly FC Women. To get up and running we require to purchase training equipment for 20 players. Additionally, we hope to be able to subsidise membership fees given the tough financial environment as the cost of training facilities and transport to matches had become very expensive.
Phase 2 will see us look to establish U18, U16 and U14 sides. In order to do so, additional training equipment will be required for each team. We will also have to ensure we have adequately qualified coaches to take on these teams and will aim to provide females in the Huntly area with the opportunity to obtain their coaching badges in order to do so.
