🏆🌟 BEDFORDSHIRE FA FEMALE COACH OF THE YEAR 🌟🏆
We are absolutely delighted to share that our very own Anais has been named Bedfordshire FA Female Coach of the Year!
This award is thoroughly deserved and recognises the incredible dedication, passion and commitment Anais brings to coaching every single week.
Despite being one of the youngest coaches in our team, Anais has become an inspirational role model for so many of our players. From our youngest footballers in the Development Centre through to our DC Wildcats girls, she consistently creates a positive, supportive and fun environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to be their best.
Over the past few years, we have watched Anais grow into an outstanding coach who leads with enthusiasm, kindness and professionalism. Her journey has been remarkable, and the impact she has had on hundreds of young players cannot be overstated.
Most importantly, Anais shows our girls that there is a place for women at every level of football, both on and off the pitch.
Everyone at Stotfold Juniors Development Centre and DC Wildcats is incredibly proud of you.
Congratulations Anais – Bedfordshire FA Female Coach of the Year 2026! 💜⚽🏆

⚽ The New FA 3v3 Format is Coming! ⚽
At Stotfold Juniors Development Centre, our Under 6s have been working incredibly hard over the last few weeks as we help prepare them for the new FA 3v3 format coming next season.
This exciting format is perfect for young players, giving them:
✅ More touches of the ball
✅ More chances to dribble, pass and shoot
✅ More involvement in the game
✅ More opportunities to build confidence
✅ A fun and positive first step into matches
Our coaches have been focusing on ball mastery, movement, decision-making and small-sided games, helping the players understand how to play, support each other and enjoy football in the right way.
The progress from the group has been fantastic, and we are really proud of how well they are adapting to this new format.
👏 Well done to all of our Under 6 players — the future is looking bright! ⚽💙
