What the students say

”The Women’s Football Academy has given me the opportunity to make new friends, have consistent training twice a week to improve upon my technical ability and to engage in beneficial gym sessions weekly to increase my strength and mobility. The team has a welcoming atmosphere and an encouraging environment, training is something for us all to look forward to. My favourite moment at Cirencester College was winning the league with the Women’s Football Academy.
