Disney Inspired Shooting Stars Training
The Disney inspired Shooting Stars by England Football programme has been designed to support girls aged 5-11 develop their speaking and listening skills through creative play and storytelling , as well as support the development of their physical literacy introduce them to football.
 
Using the inspiration of Disney stories which are engaging, memorable and familiar to the girls participating, girls get ‘lost in play’, work harder and have increased heart rates. The stories inspire girls to get active and engage in sport with their friends. All activities are age-appropriate and designed to provide girls with a positive introduction to sport.
 
Disney inspired Shooting Stars by England Football is made up of two initiatives; Active Play Through Story Telling and Girls’ Football Clubs, both have been developed to support the engagement of girls aged 5-11 years old. There are some fantastic resources available to support you in delivering these sessions whether as breakfast and lunch clubs or after school. The resources include story books, flipbooks, and videos, as well as ‘take home’ adventure passports so children can share their experiences with parents/carers.
 
Virtual training dates are quickly running out, but we will be running a face to face training day later in the school year. Please click on the click below to access dates and times for virtual training.
