Their Community Development Programme consists of school-based projects, assemblies, tournaments and after school clubs. They also support and offer advice for football and youth clubs in the area.

The programme encompasses a number of projects surrounding healthy lifestyles, education and football development.

Glenn Hoddle, Patron of Little League Football said: "This is a great chance for girl's to get involved in football through the first all girl's Little League in the country. Little League Football is different from most other football leagues because it enables young people of all backgrounds and skills to play regular football, where they may not otherwise have had the chance. I wish the Elmbridge Girls' Little League Football the very best."
