A relatively new club, Leeds Hyde Park FC's Women+ team was founded in June 2020 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, with over one hundred members as of April 2023, with three teams in the West Riding FA league.
We pride ourselves on being a super open and friendly club, taking absolutely everyone who wants to come and play with us. Our competitive teams take matchdays seriously and are always looking to do their best, but we place a huge emphasis on making sure that players enjoy coming to training and playing in matches - it’s not all about winning. We get new players joining us for taster sessions pretty much every week, so the club is always expanding!
Each summer we choose a local charity to support alongside our fundraising efforts for our own club, and this year we have voted for Getaway Girls, a Leeds-based charity which works to empower girls and young women to build confidence and resilience, raise aspirations, and develop new skills, all through a balance of support, challenge, and fun. They have been running for over thirty years, originally founded in 1987 with a focus on helping girls to get improved access to outdoor education (a traditionally male-dominated space). The charity has so far helped more than 13,000 young women to better their chances in life.
We are extremely grateful for any and all support that you can give to us and our chosen charity, so please do donate what you can to help us grow our club and improve women+ football in Leeds, as well as helping to fund the incredible work done by Getaway Girls!
