On September 24th 2016 we hosted our first ever Playing For Kicks tournament. It was an absolute dream of a day with an immense level of football, food, music and energy – and we managed to raise over £1500 for Women In Sport, what!
Thank you to everyone who donated, came down to cheer and helped out on the day. Huge love to all teams for being so much fun to involve and congratulations to Football Beyond Borders for bringing home the transparent trophy! Stay tuned for Playing for Kicks 2017.

WONDERKID FC was born out of the WONDERKID film project, which tackles one of football’s biggest issues – homophobia. The film is part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about a lack of openly gay professionals in the sport and the core message of the film (and the team) is that it is ok to be yourself and that of course, football is for everyone!
Tottenham has some quality pitches and players too. Winners of the Ladies Super Liga Team Spirit Award 2015 – we're expecting high levels of high fives from this feisty team.

Romance FC was formed in 2012 and is made up of women from all corners of the creative industry. We work together on and off the pitch to build a relaxed, diverse and social environment where common interests reshape the world of women's grassroots football.
We are a charity which uses football as tool to educate and empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. We provide them with the skills and opportunities to achieve their goals and make their voices heard.
We met this lot in the park and they're just the right mix of chilled and competitive. From what we've learnt they prefer smaller pitches, perhaps because they don't do as much frantic running as us – so 5-aside playing should be right up their turf.
"The warriors come from all walks of life, we are all about playing fun football no matter your ability and enjoying the game to the fullest"
This event was organised by Trisha Lewis and Tiger Hagino Reid with help from the entire Boiler Room Ladies FC creative squad.
