WE ARE LACES

A growing sisterhood of football clubs, run for the community, by the community.
We're built on fun, inclusion, and friendship — football is just where it starts.

  • HACKNEY

    Hackney Laces was set up in 2011 by Katee, after being approached by a 14 year old in her local park who had nowhere to play. It has since supported over 200 girls in East London on and off the pitch. Weekly training sessions are open to women of all ages, with the majority of players falling between 14 and 18.

  • Limehouse

    Limehouse Laces was set up in 2014 by two local mums, Sarah and Lisa, looking for a club for their daughters. They have various teams for all ages, from mini-laces (7-9 years) all the way up to vintage laces (50+).

  • South London

    South London Laces started life as a turn up and play futsal session run in Battersea by co-founders Em and Beth. Now it’s home to over 150 women across Wandsworth and Lambeth playing both recreationally and in Division 1 of the Greater London Women’s Football League.

  • Manchester

    Manchester Laces was set up by ex-South London Laces Helen in March 2021 as the UK was coming out of lockdown. As the first ever inclusive club for women and non-binary in Manchester, MCR Laces prides itself on being a safe and open space for everyone. It has sessions available for all levels of ability and play in the Greater Manchester Women’s League.

THIS IS WHAT A FOOTBALL CLUB LOOKS LIKE.

 

ALL THE GIRLS WHO CAN PLAY.
WHO WANT TO PLAY. WHO MIGHT PLAY.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT ABILITY, BUT OPPORTUNITY.
ON THE PITCH AND OFF THE PITCH.
NO NEED TO TRY OUT, JUST TRY.
HERE, WINNING ISN’T MEASURED IN GOALS.
IT’S ABOUT FUN. IT’S ABOUT PROGRESS.
IT’S ABOUT PEOPLE.

PLAY ONCE A WEEK.
ONCE A MONTH. ONCE A YEAR.
Play with your kids watching.
PLay between shifts.
OR BETWEEN JOBs.
JUST PLAY.

 

IF YOU’RE PLAYING,
YOU’RE ONE OF US.
