McDonald’s Fun Football
Helping Brownies access fun, free football coaching opportunities
Girlguiding is teaming up with McDonald’s Fun Football to give Brownies the chance to take part in free football coaching sessions.
Research from McDonald’s Fun Football and Girlguiding shows that more than half (52%) of parents believe that gender bias and stereotypes discourage girls from taking part in football coaching sessions. 30% of parents feel that cost is a barrier to their child taking part in football sessions.
That’s why Girlguiding and McDonald’s Fun Football (a nationwide, grassroots initiative) have teamed up – to help Brownies get active and enjoy football in a fun, pressure-free environment. We know that opportunities to try a new sport can make an incredible difference for girls by helping build their confidence and resilience.
How we’re working together
This summer, Girlguiding members will be able to sign up for free McDonald’s Fun Football sessions. These sessions, available nationwide, are led by FA-qualified coaches who focus on developing skills like agility, balance, coordination and confidence.
Interested in signing up for our free sessions?
Whether you’re looking for an activity for your unit, or you're a parent or carer on the hunt for fun activities for your child during the school holidays, it’s free to sign up and take part.
Members can now access priority booking from Tuesday 17 – Friday 20 March.
We hope you’re able to wait just a few more days to sign your child or unit up!
Visit the McDonald's Fun Football website from Tuesday 17 March to sign up! Make sure to list Girlguiding when asked ‘how did you hear about us?’.
