We were glued to the Lionesses at the Women’s Euros in July, and their historic second consecutive Euros win. But, what about the opportunities for women and girls at grassroots level? New Somerset Youth Parliament advisory group member Beatrice investigates.
Women’s football is bigger than ever, but women and girls still don’t get as many opportunities to play at grassroots level! In schools and at club level, many have a team or football club but still the opportunity isn’t readily available to girls. This blatant inequality in sport is completely unacceptable and something that needs to be changed!
