Downing Women's Football Team

Downing Women's Football Team

Downing’s Women’s and Non-Binary Football Team is a fun, friendly team that welcomes players of all abilities and is growing rapidly.

The time commitment is very low, with training on Friday afternoons, and a one-hour match typically every Saturday during Michaelmas and Lent.

Training sessions are very relaxed, and tend to involve a few drills followed by a match. The biggest reason we hear for women not wanting to give football a go is that they do not think they will be good enough. However, most of our team every year are new to football, and everyone gets to play matches regardless of experience or ability. Downing’s relaxed attitude on the pitch always makes for a fun and entertaining match.

The social side of the team includes swaps with other clubs, socials at the Spoons, and pizza nights. The team is an ideal way to get some exercise and socialise with a great group. We’d love for both new and existing members of the College to come and give football a try.
