Our girls-only football scheme started life in September 2008, when just three girls, two of them sisters, turned up to our very first session in Brixton.

Since then we have steadily developed girls’ football in Lambeth both on and off the pitch. In partnership with Lambeth Council we have run the Lambeth Secondary Schools Girls’ League and tournaments for girls in years 7 to 10 every year since 2010. We also select and manage the Lambeth London Youth Games squad every year. Please see bottom of page for times and venues.

Our girls have won a number of tournaments down the years, including the Streetgames 5s Festival in 2013 and 2014, which saw our winning teams go on to compete in the national finals at St. George’s Park. Current Real Betis Féminas striker, Rinsola Babajide, was a member of the 2014 team. Our U6s team achieved the London County Saturday Youth League and Cup double in 2018. The 2024-25 season saw our U15s girls, managed by former participants Megan and Louise, win the Girls’ Super League West Cup at Barn Elms Sports Centre. A number of young women have also achieved their F.A Level-1 and -2 coaching qualifications with us via our participant-volunteer pathway.

We have players who have barely kicked a ball before, and others who’ve trained with the female teams at Arsenal, Chelsea, Palace, AFC Wimbledon and Millwall. And in between, there’s room for everyone. For those looking to progress, we can provide direct exit routes into our current SMFC U15s team and the F.A’s London and Southeast Regional Talent ID Programme. As well as playing football, our members have enjoyed free trips out, including visits to the theatre, Streetgames events, Wandsworth Flipout, go-karting, Nando’s, Wembley and the Emirates’ Stadium.

Our current coaching team consists of 4 young women who all came through the scheme as participants. Our lead coach started playing with us aged 14, went on to gain her F.A Level-1 & -2 coaching badges with us and plays semi-pro football. Want to emulate her? Then come on down!
