Thu 7th April 2016 | Litherland REMYCA | By Gary Langley
Litherland REMYCA have announced a partnership with Everton FC to promote girls participation in football.
Following the launch of the Sister Club programme in March in association with the FA and WSL (Women’s Super League), REMYCA have reached an agreement with Everton Ladies and Everton In the Community (EITC) to agree to be their first Sister Club.
More than £100,000 has been invested by the FA into the programme, which aims to drive girls' participation at grassroots level and attendances at FA WSL matches.
Following successful bids, 11 clubs will take part this season – Arsenal, Birmingham City, Bristol City, Doncaster Rovers Belles, Everton, Notts County, Oxford United, Reading, Sheffield FC, Sunderland and Yeovil Town.
The Sister Club Programme will help girls’ clubs around the country to become affiliated with their local FA WSL club, and as part of the programme, Sister Clubs will gain access to hundreds of match tickets, player appearances, coaching sessions, camps and mascot places.
Litherland REMYCA's Head of Youth Development, Colin Begbie, who has been instrumental in the growth of the girls section in the club, was delighted to announce the partnership.
“In a relatively short space of time we have built a good foundation for the girls section within the club and we are always looking to further development both player participation and awareness of girls and ladies football.
"We see this as a great opportunity for both ourselves and Everton Ladies to involve grassroots clubs and players into the world of Women’s Super League football and hopefully help increase the support of the ladies game.
"We are delighted to be Everton’s first Sister Club and look forward to working with Poppy (EITC Lead Coach & Co-ordinator) and Everton Ladies throughout the coming season and beyond.”
