My daughter has played football for many years now. She plays for a local team, her school and also a football academy. It has become a massive part of all of our lives. I must say though that over the last couple of months it feels different. Better, exciting. It feels like we’re part of something, a community, a movement even?

My husband watches endless football and I have never been interested. What is it about women’s football? It’s the excitement of seeing something grow, being involved and watching your daughter develop into a confident, strong, active young woman. Playing as part of a team has such a great impact on the girls, feeling part of something, knowing that others have the same passion. I know the impact it has had on me. I’ve volunteered to manage the Twitter activity, what next? Bring it on!
