This initiative takes place as part of The FA’s Let Girls Play campaign. Mr Smith said: "I’m delighted that seven schools in Crawley have signed up to take part in the #LetGirlsPlay Biggest Ever Football Session on 9th March. With the support of The FA’s delivery partner, Youth Sport Trust, the schools have been provided with football session ideas and resource cards from the England Football Physical Education team. Currently, only 63 per cent of schools offer girls’ football in PE lessons and only 40 per cent of schools offer girls regular extracurricular football. I had no choice but to play for boys’ teams and we weren’t offered the chance to play football at school.
