GIRLS inspired by England's third-place finish in the women's World Cup should get their boots on for an FA football festival in Keighley tomorrow.
They may even get to meet some of the stars at the Marley Stadium event, which is hosted by Bradford Council.
Players from the FA Women's Super League will be there to chat, sign autographs and have a kick-about with those taking part.
The programme is aimed at girls new to the game as well as those who play regularly.
The morning session takes place from 9.30am to 1.15pm for children in years three and four at primary school. Years five and six can take part in the afternoon from 1.30pm to 5.15pm.
Each event is led by FA-approved coaches and activities will include skills and drills, five-a-side matches and a new warm-up programme called the ContiWarmUp.
An interactive trailer housing trophies and digital stations will be on display and a range of innovative equipment, including an inflatable pitch and speed cage, will provide further entertainment.
Councillor Imran Khan, Bradford Council's executive member for environment and sport, said: "Pupils from all over the district will be taking part in this popular festival.
"I hope they will be inspired by meeting some of the elite footballers and having a go themselves at the beautiful game."
