BCLFC home matches are held at Redditch United FC usually at 2 p.m. on Sundays. Entry is on the gate and costs £3 for adults and nothing for children. Full details of all fixtures can be found on the fixtures and results page.
Children who let us know they are attending in advance are given the opportunity to meet the players, get autographs and take photos. In addition, children can sometimes be mascots, ball girls/boys and do part of the warm up session at the match. If you are bringing a child or a group of children to a match and are interested in any of these activities, please contact us. The feedback from the clubs who have brought their players to the matches has been great with the children creating a lively, fun atmosphere and the parents often surprised by the standard of football and excitement of the afternoon.
Sometimes BCLFC coaches and/or players are able to attend training sessions or presentations at local schools or clubs. If you would are interested in this, please contact us.
Birmingham City Ladies Football Club (BCLFC) has one Senior squad which plays in the National Premier League and Junior squads at U16s (11-a-side), U14s (9-a-side), U12s (7-a-side) and U10s (7-a-side) which play in the Midlands Centre of Excellence league. Trials are held for the Centre of Excellence squads at least once a year (usually June) and the coaches watch matches and keep in contact with other clubs to identify players they would like to take on at all age groups.
BCLFC is working to create links with local clubs in line with the FA’s pyramid strategy. The clubs which BCLFC links with will be Charter Standard, have committed to bringing support to a BCLFC Premiership match each season and have a policy of putting very talented players forwards for trials at a Centre of Excellence (this does not need to be BCLFC due to location etc.) They will also be prepared to take on players released from a Centre of Excellence. Clubs which links have already been established with are given below. If you would like further information or if you run a club which you would like to be linked to BCLFC, please contact us.
