Our girls can and do play football!
On Monday 3rd July 2017, Year 7 and Year 8 Mulberry Academy Shoreditch students played a girls football match against Year 6 students from Virginia Primary School. Both teams played exceptionally well, showcasing their stunning skills, fearless saves and spectacular interceptions throughout the match.
Football is one of the world’s most popular team sports and a great way of having fun and keeping fit. With campaigns such as ‘This Girl Can’ and the Football Association recently announcing that it plans to double the number of women and girls taking part in football by 2020, the event was a positive step towards promoting sports opportunities for girls within the community. MAS and Virginia will continue to develop the partnership and involve other local schools to ensure that girls are able to train and play football regularly in the future.
Well done to all the girls involved and we look forward to the next game.
