Southend United Girls Development Centre 2024/25

Southend United are launching their first ever girls only session. It will run every Monday from 5.30 – 7 at The Deanes School on their brand new 4G pitch.

The cost is £12.50 per week. Within that costing is cover for the session every week, as well as a session to do at home or in the park focussing on ball mastery and core exercises via an app. You will also receive one short video every week with guidance on a range of topics such as sleep patterns, nutrition, recovery and many more.

The centre is not an elite academy, it is a session for all girls to play football. We are hopeful of creating an elite session in future years but for now this is the first step we are making towards creating a girl’s programme with depth and quality.
