After 9 years of facilitating and funding female opportunities to access sport on a par with boys – (evolving into Chiltern Futsal in 2022) the club has formalised its aims and hopes to build on its success for the future. Committing to allow all players the opportunity and environment to improve and love this sport.

With female participation in football and futsal still at 1.2% compared with male participation at 9% (Hertfordshire across all disciplines of the game) we are missing a huge opportunity to tap into the established and well-funded infrastructure that is football.

We believe Futsal is key to the uplift in female participation as it moves from the traditions embedded in the national sport that make it more challenging for female involvement.

Female leadership is key to showing girls that from their first step on to a court that they belong there and will be in charge.

Our model of offering futsal at half the price of very well-funded charitable competitors will continue.

We will develop beyond the aims of only winning trophies to celebrate self-development, team work, education and contributing back to society. We will offer the opportunity to coach and lead, travel and develop a broad spectrum of transferable skills. Sending out well equipped young people whose interests are in others as well as themselves.

We hope to be recognised as a registered charity and we will work at every stage to access the best coaches and opportunities for our players and coaches. We will work to get the best external support to facilitate this. Updates as they come in, there are some timescales we can't control and the work we do will not change.

Looking forward to a great season and a new era for Chiltern Futsal.
