WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL VISION BEHIND FOUNDING HITCHIN BELLES?<\/h3>

\"Hitchin Belles FC was founded in 1999 by local driving instructor Roger Spicer. Inspired by his experiences coaching girls' football in the United States, his vision was simple but powerful: to create opportunities for any girl in Hitchin to play football.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>"},"borderRadius":{"id":125557962,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":125557963,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":125557964,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":125557965,"value":null},"template":{"id":125557966,"value":"text"},"padding":{"id":125557967,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":125557968,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":125557969,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":125557970,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":125557971,"value":"[]"}}},{"id":4977221,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":5,"items":[],"properties":{"html":{"id":125557973,"value":"

AT WHAT POINT DID YOU REALISE THE CLUB WAS BECOMING LARGER THAN AVERAGE?<\/h3>

\"By 2003, football had become the most popular team sport for women and girls in England. Hitchin Belles offered a vital outlet for that growing interest, expanding steadily and organically throughout the 2000s. As player numbers increased, so too did the number of teams, with the club supporting a wide range of age groups.<\/p>

At the start of 2017, the club had 115 players across 11 teams. Just two years later, that number had more than doubled to over 250 players across 18 teams, ranging from Under-6s to the Ladies' First Team. A major milestone came in 2022 with the development of new training facilities at The Priory School.<\/p>

This, along with a long-term partnership between the club and the school, marked a step change in the club\u2019s capacity and ambition\u2014sparking a dramatic rise in participation.<\/p>

On our 25th anniversary, we had grown to over 600 players and nearly 50 teams, becoming the UK\u2019s largest all female football club - that prompted us to shape our strategy for the next 25 years.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>"},"borderRadius":{"id":125557974,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":125557975,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":125557977,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":125557978,"value":null},"template":{"id":125557979,"value":"text"},"padding":{"id":125557980,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":125557981,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":125557982,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":125557983,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":125557984,"value":"[]"}}},{"id":4977222,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":6,"items":[],"properties":{"html":{"id":125557986,"value":"

\"\u201cHitchin Belles have fostered a beautiful culture of taking control of a situation. For many, many years, women and girls have had to rely on hand-outs and goodwill to access pitches, or kit, or competitions. But the Belles have flipped the script. They\u2019ve built a culture of confidence, community, and control - showing what happens when you step into your own power and shape your own future. They\u2019re not just creating a space for girls to play; they\u2019re creating a platform for girls to thrive. It's an extraordinary community, the likes of which I've never seen before and if supported, can become the new gold standard for all grassroots football in this country.\"
