Greenwood Academy Parent Council wishes to support the 11-18 girls football team. The team attends tournaments throughout the year including Scottish Cup, Spar 7's, Ayrshire Cup and looking to enter the Blackpool International next Easter 2025. We currently have approximately 35 kids at training on a weekly basis and rotate the squad to ensure everyone gets the opportunity to play/be involved in the group.

We have a large number of talented players in the school with 6 girls being selected for the 2nd round of the senior girls Ayrshire squad and have 8 on trial with under 15 South West team.  The team provide senior pupils with the opportunity to coach younger groups within the school giving them the opportunity to learn about coaching and improving their responsibilities.  This is positive as younger players look up to seniors as positive role models. Staff provide water and free transport to ensure we remove any barriers that young people may face.  We have agreements with teams in the community to provide cheaper or free training fee's to ensure everyone gets the same opportunity.
