Overview
About Our Club
Barnet Panthers was founded in 2022 to provide a safe, supportive, fun and nurturing environment for girls to play and enjoy football, and to enable their development both on and off the pitch. We are an inclusive club with a strong focus on embracing and supporting the community, with involvement of volunteers and parents key to our success
We’ve worked hard to reduce the barriers to young girls playing football. We are a young club but we are expanding and we currently train over 50 girls football each week. We have four teams playing in leagues across Hertfordshire and London as well as development sessions offering girls new into football the opportunity to participate with no pressure
In addition, we also offer a wellbeing, mentoring and personal development programme which gives all players the opportunity to further develop skills in resilience, confidence and independence. This scheme includes events inviting inspirational female speakers to participate in workshops with the girls
