What is the Shooting Stars programme?

The Irish FA Shooting Stars programme sponsored by Electric Ireland, looks to create opportunities for girls throughout the country to fall in love with football.
In our first year the focus was on 4-7 year olds and due to the success of this we expanded the age range in many of our centres to have an older age group of 8-11 year olds.
By creating participation centres girls will have fantastic facilities to come along to and take part in our fun-filled sessions run by highly qualified coaches in a safe and friendly environment.
The programme aims to help girls learn through play, make new friends while developing the fundamentals for football. It is an exciting new project that can benefit local clubs also through coach mentoring/ volunteering opportunities in this age group.
Each child's fee for the programme is £25.
