SSE Wildcats Centres to Quadruple Opportunities for Girls
With over 5000 girls attending a SSE Wildcats session in the pilot year we are pleased to announce that SSE and The FA have committed to quadrupling the number of centres for 2018. Alongside the existing 12 centres created in 2017, West Riding will receive a further allocation of 28 new centres.
Anyone can host a SSE Wildcats centre from Clubs, Leagues, Schools and Colleges to private organisations with each centre receiving £900 and 30 Nike footballs to deliver for a minimum of 16 weeks. The centres will be expected to charge a maximum of £3 per girl to allow the centre to continue once the funding has been used.
