Foxy Footie Fiesta Fun 2010

A freezing morning.
The Downs wet and muddy with days of rain.
Did that stop the Fabulous Female Foxes from coming out to play?
57 foxettes turned out for the best ever Fiesta Saturday, and the chance to train with England Internationals and Bristol Academy Pros Corinne Yorston and Annie Heatherson

From reception all the way through Y6, the Foxes learnt new passing skills and even headers from two of Bristol's finest players.

Here's a report from one of the Y5 team, Sophie HR:

The Foxy Girls Footie Fiesta was extremely fun. I really enjoyed it because I knew that lots of girls, age 4-11, were being inspired and taught to play football and that maybe some of the girls that we saw at the fiesta may one day become professional footballers and teach some girls to play football and inspire them like the pros that came from Bristol Academy WFC. I think that everybody did really well, especially the new receptions, and I am very thankful to all who  organised all that and all who came along! 
The professionals were really nice and taught us without saying ‘That was rubbish!’ - which is harder than it sounds.

Girls Can’t What?

Think again...............................

These are some training shots:

And they got muddy and Foxy into the bargain.

  

   

The girls did The Foxes proud. Corinne and Annie said they were amazed to see such enthusiasm on such a cold day, and were impressed by the passing and running.

It was great to see so many new faces, (in more ways than one!) and we look forward to welcoming back all the new Foxes to training next Saturday on the Downs!
