Girls’ Performance Football

In association with the Chelsea FC Foundation, Mount Kelly runs a Girls’ Performance Football Programme.

The Girls’ Performance Football Programme allows selected pupils the opportunity to reach their full potential academically and athletically with outstanding coaching, support, expertise and guidance from fully qualified staff and coaches. Until now the Programme has been for girls entering Year 12 to study BTEC or A Levels. From September 2024 we are building our squad to include an U16 team and have a number of scholarships available for talented athletes who are keen to pursue their dreams on the football pitch.  For all general enquiries about the U18 Programme please complete the application form below.

Formed in 2010, the Chelsea FC Foundation is one of the world’s leading football social responsibility programmes, using the power of football and sport to motivate, educate and inspire. In addition the Chelsea FC Foundation works on a broad range of initiatives focusing on employment, education, social deprivation, crime reduction and much more.

It’s a great experience and something I would have never thought about doing before but I’ve really settled in and we’re already a family just 5 weeks in!

The community within our squad is unbreakable and I couldn’t ask for a better group of girls.

It’s been a once in a lifetime experience and it certainly lives up to the expectations.
