Girls Football
In early 2005, the Active Sports "Kick Start" programme was rebranded, under The FA banner, as the "3 Lions FC" programme. In a similar way to the Kick Start programme, sessions are run either at school or community venues with a Head Coach and an assistant coach from a local Charter Standard Club (the Head Coach has a minimum Level 2 coaching qualification and their assistant a Level 1). All coaches are checked through the Criminal Records Bureau.
The Programme of coaching is delivered as:
-

The Northamptonshire FA will be posting dates starting in October. 5 sessions will run across the county in the run up to the Christmas break.
