Here come the girls!

A club spokesman said: “The girls’ team will receive professional weekly coaching at our newly constructed 3G facility (beside Carrick Ampitheatre hockey pitch) and will also participate in a competitive local league at under-15 level.

“It is a great opportunity for females to get involved in a fun and social activity with a fitness, and competitive focus. The benefits of structured sporting participation are well documented, improving not only physical and mental wellbeing, but building other important personal attributes such as communication skills, confidence and self-esteem.”

The girls’ football season begins in May and runs through to August and Carrick Rangers are hoping to build a training squad of players prior to the new campaign kicking off.

So, if you’re a girl between 12 and 14 and have a keen interest in playing football, why not attend the registration session at 6.15pm on Tuesday, March 19 at Carrick Rangers’ 3G pitch.
