Girls' and Women's Football
Girls' Regional Talent Club
The Emerging Talent Centre
The ETC forms part of the Lioness Talent Pathway which identifies and prepares talented young players with the potential to become a senior Lioness. With the objective of winning major tournaments, our pathway plays an essential role in the identification and confirmation of talent and ensuring the best players are available to Women’s England teams.
This new pathway improves on the previous pathway with better accessibility, more inclusivity, reducing the impact on early selection, more focussed investment and by providing more appropriate challenges. ETC’s are a National programme designed to support the development of Elite Female Players across England. Southampton FC Women’s & Girls are operating an U10’s, U11’s and U12’s for the 2022/23 season. Players can use the link below to register their interest in the ETC for 23/24 using this link.
