Lilleshall was proud to host the recent Crossbar Foundation “Let Girls Play” competition, which provided an opportunity for 60 Shropshire schoolgirls to enjoy coached football sessions delivered by Crossbar Education in Sport coaches and The Crossbar College of sport students.
Let Girls Play is a nationwide celebration highlighting the importance of girls’ football and inclusivity. During the event, the girls had the chance to enjoy the fantastic facilities at Lilleshall and experience what it feels like to represent their school in a fun, competitive way.
Luke Hughes, Operations Manager for the Crossbar Group said:
"We would like to say a huge thank you to Lilleshall National Sports Centre, Sport England and our school partners who have enabled us to provide this fantastic opportunity to children in the Shropshire community. This event has been a huge success and has had a positive impact on girls football and inclusive sports.
“We are looking forward to working alongside Lilleshall again, to engage with even more children and to provide further opportunities through sport.
Jennifer Sibbald-Wall, Contract Manager at Lilleshall added:
“We are always keen to support our on-site partners, and Crossbar do such important work using sport and physical activity to support the development of both children and adults.
“Having seen some of the videos from the event, it’s clear what a great job the Crossbar College of Sport students did, creating engaging and fun activities for all the participants!”
