Female Football Initiative

After noticing a gap in programs available for young female soccer players, particularly in the lead up to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Stephen Pearce joined forces with Chris Rademacher and exercise physiologist Michael Cheney to form the Female Football Initiative.

Bridget Archer MP dropped by a recent training session to have a chat with Stephen.

“I dropped by to have a chat with Stephen and some of the young players from a range of junior clubs who have joined the initiative which, alongside some fantastic coaching from Chris, offers strength and conditioning sessions as well as information on nutrition, mental health and general wellbeing,” Mrs Archer said.

“The program is free for 10-14 year olds and will be run through the school term in 2023 with the hope of continuing in the years to come. If you would like to support the initiative, please contact femalefootballinitiative@gmail.com”

More than 30 teams will compete in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be held from 20 July – 20 August 2023 in locations across Australia and New Zealand.
