Applications for Playmakers has re-opened for schools to apply to be providers in the 24/25 academic year. Playmakers is an exciting and innovative programme which aims to inspire 5–8-year-old girls to engage with football and physical activity in a fun and creative way.
Playmakers uses the power of Disney stories to bring sessions to life and enhance pupils’ decision-making, physical literacy and confidence. The programme is designed specifically for female pupils to narrow the gap in gender participation in football.
