Our Women’s Football Academy recently enjoyed the experience of a lifetime, training at the iconic St James’ Park, thanks to our partnership with the Newcastle United Foundation.
We caught up with players Ellie Kennedy, Charlotte Mason and Natalya Slight to hear about their unforgettable day.
“I was so excited to get on the pitch I was looking forward to waking up that morning!” said Ellie, “Having the opportunity to train on a Premier League pitch is something I’ll never forget, I couldn’t wait to get out there and with this being my final year in college it was an incredible experience to finish on.”
Charlotte adds “I’m so grateful to have had the chance to experience first-hand the opportunities that come through the College’s partnership with Newcastle United Foundation. As a Newcastle fan it’s always been a dream to score in the Gallowgate end and I got a chance to do this!”
“I was quite nervous to get out there at first, to make sure I performed at a high level” Natalya admitted “But once I was out there the atmosphere was amazing, having my parents able to come and watch was also extra special and has given me more confidence going forward in my playing career”
