Girls’ football is one of the fastest growing sports at Lancing College. The past four years has seen a rapid growth in the development of football for girls at both a participation and excellence level and there are now multiple teams across the Junior and Senior age groups.
This year the College has been extremely proud of the progress of Nelly who transferred to Lancing in September 2024 after gaining a 2-year scholarship with Brighton and Hove Albion Women’s U19s. Nelly has represented Wales on International duty and recently captained the Welsh U18s in their U17 Euro qualification match with France. She combines her studies at Lancing with full-time training at the American Express Elite Football Performance centre which is just a short walk or drive from Lancing College.
As well as a term dedicated to football in which the teams have an opportunity to train up to three times per week, the girls have an opportunity to take part in training throughout the year within the Co-Curricular program. Training is staffed by specialist UEFA A and B licensed football coaches and the College’s 1st XI and U15 team play in the ISFA National Cup and ISFA National trophy, as well as participating in block fixtures against other schools and colleges across the south.
