BL Women's Football is a flourishing Barts and the London sports club which aims to share the love for football while fostering a supportive community of women to make the most of your time here at Barts. We are excited to see our club continue to expand and develop, and eager to play and enjoy the sport. We currently take part in competitive university leagues and offer weekly coached training sessions where ladies at Barts can show off their football skills. Our former years as a club have been hugely successful, with great results in the LUSL league table, participation in the Merger Cup, and a wide variety of social events for our members.
We welcome players of all abilities from any year- from budding Rachel Daly's to those who have never kicked a ball before. So join us and be part of our women’s football club at Barts! In addition to coached trainings and matches, we have an exciting social calendar with a wide range of events, for drinkers and non-drinkers alike!
