2️⃣ Check for Local Wildcats Centres (Optional for Girls)
If your child is a girl, you can also search for Weetabix Wildcats sessions – fun, friendly, non-competitive sessions designed for girls aged 5–11.

Important Information
Children in Year 2 usually play Under-7s football.
Many clubs offer training-only sessions to help children settle in before joining a team.
Spaces can be limited, so we recommend contacting more than one club to find availability.
