Reading FC Women is thrilled to announce the revival of our esteemed School Partnership Programme. This initiative, originally crafted to inspire and empower local grassroots teams, now returns with a renewed focus on supporting girls' football within schools, fostering the development of the sport across Reading.
The aim of this program is to bring aspiring players closer to their idols, forging an unbreakable connection between the professional team and the future stars of our game.
Our program is a beacon of collaboration, mentorship, and inspiration. We passionately believe in the strength of the community and its pivotal role in nurturing and cultivating talent from a young age. Through partnerships with local schools, we aspire to create a pathway for young girls to hone their skills, ignite their passion for football, and chase their dreams.

As part of this program, our talented players and coaching staff will actively engage with schools in the Reading area. Through invaluable guidance, training sessions, and mentoring opportunities, we aim to provide the next generation with experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. Our goal is to establish an environment where young players can learn from the best, gain firsthand insights into the professional game, and kindle a lifelong love for football.
But our school partnership scheme encompasses more than just on-pitch activities. We are committed to developing well-rounded individuals who not only excel in football but also embody the values of teamwork, respect, and perseverance - the very essence of football itself. At Reading FC, our staff and players are dedicated to connecting with the community through initiatives like this, creating a strong bond between supporters and players.
We extend an open invitation to all local schools whose students share our passion for the beautiful game and believe in football's transformative power to join us on this incredible journey. By becoming a part of our school partnership scheme, schools will gain access to the opportunity to collaborate with Reading FC Women at exclusive events, training support and discounted tickets.
To ensure accessibility for all, there is no sign-up fee required. All we need for your school to join is your school's name and the best contact information, which can be emailed to Mitch Parris, our Women's Marketing Manager, at mparris@readingfc.co.uk.
We wholeheartedly encourage all schools to seize this unique opportunity to be a part of a supportive and inspiring network dedicated to nurturing young girls' talent and propelling the rapid growth of women's football.
