About Us
Training: Monday nights during term time at the Cockermouth School Astro Turf between 5.00pm and 6.00pm
League: The Cockermouth Girls U12 play in the West Cumbria Youth Football League.
This team was formed in the summer of 2010 and plays in the West Cumbria Youth League. The U12 league is aimed at girls in years 6 and 7 at school but works very closely with the year 5 girls who will formally be able to play for the U12s in the following season. Our squad is made up of a very active group of girls, football being just part of their many sporting interests. Our league matches are scheduled to be played at weekends and could be on Saturdays or Sundays depending on when the opposition are available to play and pitch availability. This year the league comprises of 5 teams, Seaton, Windscale, Bransty, Crosby and ourselves. This gives the team 8 league matches during the season. As well as the league games, there are other opportunities to play 5 a-side, 7 a-side, friendly matches and Futsal competitions throughout the season. There are lots of opportunities for the girls to play throughout the season, be it in competitive matches, training, indoor or outdoor, weather permitting!
The U12 team are always looking for new players to join the squad. All girls will be made very welcome to any of our training sessions on Mondays nights. If you are interested in joining the club please contact our U12 Girls Coach, turn up at training on a Monday or contact the club via the following link [contact link].
Futsal competition ( a variation of 5 a-side football with a less bouncy ball and a few other rule differences)
Helen Aitchison, who is the Girls & Women's Football Development Officer at the Cumberland & Westmorland County FA, is organising a Cumbria wide tournament. The competition will run in late March or early April and will be entered by teams from all over the county. There is also a national competition this season for Futsal. The county winners will go on to the regional finals in June to be played in Manchester with the winners of that progressing to the National Finals. More details on dates when they become available.
Our girls have just played in the West Cumbria Futsal taster session two weeks ago where we entered three U12s teams. The girls who played in the U12’s teams that day are shown on the U12’s main page.
