CSA 07 FC launches girls football initiative
9th October 2023
On Thursday 5th October, CSA 07 delivered its first ever girls-only training session at Park House School on their 3G pitch.
The club has always welcomed girls in all of their age groups squads, but the club felt that it was now important to offer sessions catering only for girls, to reflect the huge growth in women's football that we're now seeing with the regular TV coverage of the Women's Super League and with the recent success of the England national team, the Lionesses.
If you have a daughter/friend/relative, who is still at primary school, and who would like to attend the club's new training sessions which will run every Thursday 18:00 - 19:00 at Park House School, please contact Jane Sirs jane.sirs@csa07.com for more details.
All sessions are conducted by existing club coaches, all of whom are accredited with the FA and have the required DBS and Safeguarding Children accreditation.
We look forward to welcoming more girls to our training and developing the squad.

Our philosophy
At CSA 07, we want children to enjoy playing football, learning new skills, making new friends and becoming active in a safe environment.
We want our coaches to enjoy seeing each individual develop and mature in their own way and at their own speed.
We want our parents to support our coaches with the different football and life skills that they are teaching the children and to also enjoy watching their children play in a safe and enjoyable enviroment.
At CSA 07 FC, we fully support the FA's Respect code of conduct.
Originally launched in the 2008-09 season, the campaign’s new mantra of ‘We Only Do Positive’ aims to improve behaviour on touchlines across the country by raising awareness of Respect among a new generation of parents, coaches, volunteers and players.
The FA’s Respect programme aims to educate parents and coaches on their roles in creating a fun, safe and inclusive environment for players to ensure the campaign is embraced throughout the age groups and result in sustained participation from players and volunteers alike.
We would encourage all parents / guardians to read the booklet (opposite) recently produced by the FA and to also remember that:
- Children play for fun
- Coaches are volunteers
- Referees make mistakes
- If parents coach from the sidelines, players will get confused
