WWPIS are pleased to announce the continuation and expansion of our work across the women’s and girl’s game for 2026-2027.
Following the huge success of the work last season In partnership with the Football Association we will be expanding the number of sessions delivered to staff, coaches and parents.
This is a significant project across the game as it will incorporate all the different levels from the Emerging Talent Centres and the Professional Game Academies to the Lioness Player Pathway with each group having tailored content delivered to them to meet their needs at the different stages of the journey.
Alongside the work with the Football Association WWPIS will be working independently within a number of the WSL clubs supporting staff, coaches and parents in creating the best environments for young female players to fulfil their potential both in and out of their sport.
All the parents involved in the Lioness Player Pathway will be given access to a customised website platform including all the exclusive content created here at WWPIS alongside specific content from the Lioness Player Pathway.
They will also be given a customised copy of ‘Sports Performance Parenting’ which will help to enhance the delivery of both live and virtual sessions that will be running across the age groups.
All live and virtual sessions are in the diary for the year ahead getting underway in September and running through until May 2027.
CEO Gordon MacLelland said, ‘This is such an exciting project and I am delighted that we are continuing to work with the FA to offer support across the whole of the girl’s game. It was a privilege to be involved in the parent/carer rep groups last season alongside the live and virtual delivery of sessions to parents at all different levels.
Harnessing feedback last season has allowed us to innovate further with this work to help to try and make this the best and most impactful parent programme in women’s football in the world. This can only happen through collaboration, the sharing of ideas from multiple departments and an expertise in understanding the realities of being a sports parent in such unique environments.’
