Disney inspired Shooting Stars by England Football is made up of two initiatives; Active Play Through Story Telling and Girls’ Football Clubs, both have been developed to support the engagement of girls aged 5-11 years old in sport at school and in the home. You will access three live modules bringing to life the power of the Disney stories in getting girls to be physically active.

Active Play Through Storytelling – KS1

In a nutshell:

·       Supports the development of fundamental movement skills and physical literacy

·       Delivered through creative play and storytelling

·       Specifically targets girls who are inactive/ have low levels of physical literacy

·       Opportunity for girls to reflect on behaviours and understand their impact on self and others

·       Provides opportunities to practice at home

Active Play Through Storytelling uses the inspirational stories of Incredibles 2, Aladdin, Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4 to enable girls to get ‘lost in play’. As they engage with the storyline, children become physically active through thoughtfully designed activities which support the development of their social skills, creativity, teamwork, communication and confidence as well as increasing their emotional awareness

Girls’ Football Club – KS1 + 2

In a nutshell:

·       Builds on their sporting confidence and competence of fundamental movement skills developed in Active Play Through Storytelling

·       Using Marvel storytelling, girls are introduced to basic football movements

·       Girls develop basic understanding and competence in invasion game principles

·       Opportunity for girls to reflect on behaviours and understand their impact on self and others

·       Provides opportunities to practice at home

The Girls’ Football Club programme inspired by Disney and Marvel uses super-human powers, high-tech gadgets and superheroes to truly capture the imagination of Primary age girls. Whether rescuing Groot the Root or flying across New York as Captain Marvel, girls will be inspired to get active and engage with their friends whilst learning how to play football.

The training will provide you with the skills and confidence to deliver Disney inspired Shooting Stars in your school regardless of your previous level of experience in delivering football or other extracurricular activity.
