Female academy

We are so excited to announce that with our partnership with Newbury College, we have our very own girls academy for talented female footballers as well as girls that have a passion to develop a career in football and sport other than playing.

Our very own student Molly Price met with Newbury College principal Iain Wolloff and vice principal Lee Hunt in May 2021 as we set out our plans to develop the girls section. Molly as ever showed her passion and desire and opinions which allowed all of us to create this pathway. Molly has been an inspiration in her two years she was a student with us and in that time has gained so many different skills and qualities to enhance her career. For example while being a student she was being mentored by Amy Taylor within a physiotherapy aspect and was supporting Amy in our fixtures at Cheltenham in the FA Youth Cup. Molly has also been working as a coach in primary schools and has just been offered a part time job at our home base of Tilsley Park. 

Since launching our Female Football Programme in 2022/23 with just 5 students, we have grown into a thriving community of around 40 female players, with numbers continuing to increase each year. We are proud to provide an inclusive, supportive, and ambitious environment where players of all abilities can thrive. Whether you are competing at a high level or taking your first steps into the game, our experienced coaching team is committed to helping every player develop both on and off the pitch.

Our female players benefit from a comprehensive fixture programme, competing in the National Youth Football League, the Tactic League, and a range of additional fixtures against high-calibre opposition. Supported by UEFA A and UEFA B Licence coaches, alongside experienced talent development staff, players have access to an elite performance pathway designed to maximise individual development and help them reach the next level.

Whether your ambition is to become a player, coach, physiotherapist, analyst, or pursue another career within the football industry, we provide the opportunities, support, and guidance to help shape your future.

Opportunities Include:

• Playing and non-playing roles
• Regular midweek fixtures
• Full-time education programme
• Gym membership at Park Club
• Work experience opportunities
• UK and overseas tours
• Progression routes to university, US scholarships, and careers within the football industry
• Access to experienced UEFA-qualified coaches
• Individual player development and performance support

Following our girls 2023 tour in Holland our captain Hermione has taken the time to put a few words together about her first year with us at Procision Oxford:

"After a year of hard work, dedication and achievements we have unfortunately come to the end of our first year, and what a year it has been!

The girls came into the year in August all brand new, first group of girls at Procision and we were ready to tackle whatever was coming our way. Education started and we was flying with all our units and completing more than usual in the first year! 

Football on the other hand, we started in a league which was without being disrespectful, too easy for us as we was winning games 6/7/8-0 every week. Due to this we asked to get moved into a tough league and faced some tough opposition especially for a newly formed side like ourselves. Throughout the season we kept developing and improving and narrowly missed out on the title due to not being able to fit in our last league game in time due to joining the league late! We also entered into the ML  league smashed it and ended up winning it!

Tour was the icing on the cake of a brilliant first year. I have made memories for life with my teammates and staff which I can’t thank enough for being on the journey with me!

Our success so far…
