NER Female Football Pathway
We believe in nurturing talent from a young age and providing structured development opportunities for those wanting to take their football further.
Our Female Football Pathway provides a clear progression from junior teams through to our Women’s Premier League squad, ensuring players receive the training, mentoring, and opportunities needed to thrive.
Many of our female players have progressed to NPL or representative teams, often returning to North Epping Rangers with valuable experience, reinforcing our reputation for developing talent at all levels.
Girls Football Academy & WPL Development Squad
To strengthen our female development pathway, we’ve introduced two key programs:
- Girls Football Development Academy (U12 – U18)– A high performance development training squad for talented North Epping Rangers players, focused on building technical skills, game awareness, and confidence for young players wanting to improve and progress. A high-performance training squad for talented players looking to level up their game. The Football Development Academy is designed to run alongside the players regular club team training. These sessions provide additional coaching and skill development to help players reach their full potential while continuing to play for their NER team.
- WPL Development Squad (U16+)– A high-performance training program designed for aspiring senior players who want to take their game to the next level. This program bridges the gap between youth competitions and Women’s Premier League, offering players the opportunity to train alongside WPL squad members, gain match experience as a fill-in when needed, and develop in a competitive environment—all while continuing to play with their friends in their own North Epping Rangers club team.
