JH Community Football Coaching

⚽️ On the field, brilliant. Off the field, respectful and professional. 👏

What a group we had for Day 1 of Summer Camp! 💪

Thirteen players from U10-U13 joined us this morning and challenged themselves in every aspect of the day. From start to finish, their attitude, effort and willingness to learn were outstanding, while showing respect and professionalism throughout.

Over four action-packed hours, the players enjoyed plenty of ball mastery, technical practices, games, challenges and matches, all designed to maximise touches and improve their understanding of the game. ⚽️

Away from the pitch, we also spent time focusing on the importance of sleep and how quality rest can positively impact performance, recovery and decision-making on the pitch.

We return next Wednesday for Week 2, and we still have a few spaces available if you’d like to join us. 👊⚽️

Gaffa got the boots back on for a 1-to-1 with Lottie B. 👊🏼⚽️

Lottie picked up the Players’ Player of the Year award for WSG while playing a year up last season—an outstanding achievement. Now she’s back in her own age group, I’m excited to see her continue to develop and enjoy her football.

Proud to be sponsoring Lottie for the upcoming WSG season.

Now for a 6-week block… blowing the cobwebs off me might be the hardest part! 😅

3 Weeks to Go! ⚽🔥

In just 3 weeks, we’ll be delivering our biggest Girls Football Festival to date!

It’s incredible to think that just 2 years ago we hosted our very first girls’ festival. Since then, we’ve learned so much, grown every year, and continued to raise the standard of what we can offer. This year’s event has taken a huge amount of planning and hard work, but it’s all worth it.

The growth of girls’ football is incredible, and to play a part in driving that forward across Wigan is something I’m incredibly passionate about and will continue to push for.

The numbers speak for themselves. What started with around 20 teams in Year 1 has grown to 6 times that number as we head into Summer Tournament #3 - Clubs continue to put their trust in a tournament that welcomes all ability levels, with trophies available for every team competing.

This year also brings an exciting new tournament format, alongside the fantastic support of Tournify, making the experience even better for players, coaches and spectators.

🏆 Football for everyone

A huge thank you to every single person who has helped make this tournament possible. To all the clubs entering teams and backing the initiative, our stall holders, referees, the venue, our volunteers, partners and everyone working behind the scenes—this event simply wouldn’t happen without your support. We truly appreciate every one of you for believing in what we’re building for girls’ football.

Whether you’re joining us for the football or simply coming along to browse the artisan market, everyone is welcome. We can’t wait to see you there! ⚽

3 weeks to go… let’s make this the biggest and best Girls Football Festival yet!

Huge night for us👊🏽
Faisal Khan as always. Thank you brother

WSG hitting new highs! 🚀

With the lift-off of Phase 2 Trials for our U11 players and Trial Night for our U12 players, the future of girls football in Wigan continues to grow. 🔥

A huge 65 players across 2 age groups came together, with standards being set from Programme Lead → Managers → Players. An environment is being created where everyone understands the role we are playing in the growth of top-flight girls football here in Wigan.

A mission to achieve. A goal for greatness. 🏆

WSG is a district programme with the ambition to identify, develop and expose the best talent across Wigan.

For some players, their trial journey may come to an end — but that does not stop our coaching team and staff continuing to attend school matches and grassroots games to Talent ID and find players who want to keep raising the level.

👏 Congratulations to every single player involved.

•Up to 30 primary schools represented
•12 out of 17 high schools represented

We always look back to that first trial in October 2024, where only 14 girls attended.

Look how far this programme has come.

Girls football in Wigan is at an all-time high, and this project is only getting started. 🚀

WSG — building the future.

For the first time in 10 years, I stepped away from grassroots coaching and focused entirely on developing the WGFL structure and the WSG Programme.

What a year it has been.

🏆 6 League Cup Finals completed
⚽ Nearly 1,000 girls supported through grassroots and representative football
🥉 WSG U12s secured a Top 3 league finish in their debut season
📈 Continued growth across girls’ football throughout the region

What started as a vision to create more opportunities for girls has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

None of this happens without the players, coaches, volunteers, parents and clubs who continue to trust, support and buy into the journey. Thank you.

Looking ahead to 2026/27…

⚽ WSG Trials
⚽ Squad Selection
⚽ Pre-Season Programme
⚽ Pre-League Promotion
⚽ Festival of Football

With 60+ teams set to move through the WGFL across U9-U15 next season, the opportunities for girls’ football continue to grow.

The momentum is undeniable. The aim remains the same: raise standards, create opportunities and ensure every girl who wants to play football has a pathway to do so.

A short 3-week break, then we go again.

Thank you to everyone who played their part this season. 💚⚽

Out of possession. 🔒⚽

A very good session from the WFC troops this evening!

Always nice to mix up the sessions with fun whilst focusing around different Principles of Play. Plenty of touches on the ball is always a key part of these sessions, keeping the futsal message aligned throughout our current block whilst we continue to access 2G before our return to the sports hall.

Great alignment around playing out of possession, with key points clearly being understood and applied by all players. A high standard of understanding, communication and game intelligence on show throughout the evening 👏⚽

3 League Cup Finals tomorrow then a solid week of football, on & off the pitch completed this week✅⚽️

WSG hitting new heights.

Very proud of this District tonight!

Close to 40 U13-U14 girls nominated and trialling for the Wigan School Girls Programme.

A huge shoutout to the 70% of high schools represented this evening and the incredible depth of talent right across the Borough.

Massive credit also goes to the staff and volunteers who continue to turn up and drive the values of this programme at the heart of everything they do.

While some districts are scaling back, this district will not stop pushing for new heights. After seeing the National Schools Finals last weekend, we know that’s a stage we’ll be aiming to reach in the coming years.

As always, thank you to Leisure United Fosters for continuing to facilitate and support our programme — a partnership we are incredibly proud of.

WSG U14s coming your way..
