Biggest Ever Football Day

 


What do you see in the picture? What is happening? What do the T-shirts say- what is this about?

On March 7th the "Biggest ever Football Session" is happening in schools across the UK.

What do you think this is?

The Biggest Ever Football Session is about inspiring and empowering the next generation of girl's football. 

It's about inclusivity in sports, showing that girls belong in football. 

The aim is to get as many girls as possible in school all playing football on the same day. 

What does empowered mean?
What does inclusivity mean?
Some people might say if we are being truly inclusive, we should allow boys to play too... what do you think?

Watch this video #LetGirlsPlay- The FA but as it plays, imagine swapping the word girls for the word boys. Does it still make sense if it was about boys? Explain your answer. 

Olivia Hancock is a campaigning to end sexism in football.

What is sexism?

Olivia says, "How would you feel if you couldn't do something you love? As a young girl all I wanted to do was kick a football and have fun. While at primary school, I was told that girls don't play football - it's a boys sport. It was later made clear that this seemed to be the case in many schools. When I left primary school in 2027 I was determined that not only should primary schools give  girls equal access to football, they should also have girls football teams. Not all girls are confident enough to play football with boys and I needed to be that powerful female voice for change."

Why do you think some girls are not confident enough to play football with boys?
What is the solution?
Do you think in 2025 we need a "Biggest ever football day" to encourage boys to play the game?
Why/ Why not?

What do we say at our school about gender and football?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?
