In its 20th Anniversary year, Witchford Colts FC became the first grassroots club in Cambridgeshire to become a Partner of Her Game Too, the voluntary organisation fighting sexist abuse in football.
One of Witchford’s coaches, Emma Smith, is also the Ambassador for Her Game Too at Cambridge United FC. “I was so pleased at the enthusiasm that my club Witchford Colts showed for partnering with Her Game Too. The partnership promotes such an important message that girls and women, who may have faced negativity for being female and loving football, will be fully supported by the club.”
Her Game Too has almost 50 Ambassadors around the country, most of whom are affiliated with professional football clubs.
As well as spreading awareness of sexism and misogyny in the world of football, the campaign also champions the many positive stories of female players, fans, coaches, officials, staff and volunteers.
The HGT team hope their campaign will help shape a future environment and culture in the football world where women and girls are welcomed and respected equally.
To find out more about the campaign, and its recent extension into the cricket world, and to discuss a Partnership for your grassroots club, send Emma an email to hergametoo@hotmail.com
