Girls Football.
Girls’ Youth Football.
Real Bedford provides a welcoming and ambitious football programme for girls across Bedford, helping players enjoy the game, develop their ability and progress through the club.
Our girls’ section was founded in 1996 and has decades of experience developing girls’ and women’s football. Today, around 250 players are involved across our youth and senior teams, with a clear pathway from a girl’s first training session through to women’s first-team football.

Football for Every Stage.
We welcome girls from age seven upwards, whether they are playing for the first time or looking for a new challenge. Our youth teams compete in local leagues, with training designed to develop technical ability, fitness, confidence and an understanding of the game.
New players can attend a small number of trial training sessions before deciding whether to join.

Coaching and Development.
Our qualified coaches create sessions that combine enjoyment, learning and competition. Players are encouraged to express themselves, work as part of a team and develop at a pace appropriate to their age and experience.
Our ambition is to give every girl the opportunity to fulfil her potential, with a pathway for talented and committed players to progress into our development and women’s teams.

More Than Football.
Being part of Real Bedford means more than playing matches. Girls develop confidence, resilience, friendships, leadership and a sense of belonging.
We are proud of the family atmosphere around our teams and encourage parents, senior players and volunteers to play an active and positive role in the section.

Training and Matches.
Our teams train during the week and play matches at weekends. Training times, venues and availability vary by age group and season.
To find the most suitable team for your child, please contact us with her name, age and previous football experience.
