Football club unites to support girls with short hair
One of the under 12s, Camille, said: “When we were playing football once we had an opposition that was quite mean about people with short hair playing football for a girls’ team.
“They said: ‘Why’s there a boy on the pitch? You need to take them off because they’re boys and it’s cheating’ and our coach told them off.
“When I heard this I felt quite upset because I don’t really understand why they can’t just get on with what they’re doing rather than worry about other people’s business.”
Her team-mate Antonia added: “I felt quite frustrated because they were attacking them for no reason when they hadn’t done anything wrong.”
Camille said: “I felt quite supported when the adults did a video about it saying that we weren’t alone,” Camille said.
