Football fun for girls in Highland Perthshire
Last updated | 18/04/2008
More girls in Highland Perthshire are being encouraged to take up football through partnership working between the Council and the Highland Sports Trust.
Karen Todd, the Council's Active School Coordinator for the primary schools at Pitlochry High and Breadalbane Academy has been working with schools in the area to promote the sport for girls.
All schools in Highland Perthshire have had taster coaching sessions from Perthshire Highland Sports Trust Club coach Gavin Price and there are now three after-school girls' football clubs presently running in Dunkeld, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry.
On Tuesday 25 March Gavin and Karen held a girls' football festival in Aberfeldy, where six teams had a great morning playing against each other, with the Pitlochry team becoming overall winners of the competition that was enjoyed by everyone involved.
