How do I develop and grow my adult women’s soccer league?

Currently we have 5-6 teams with skills ranging from semi-professional to beginner. The beginners are often very intimidated by the first game and often never come back. We have tried free clinics and open practices, but still we cannot grow our league. My ambition is to have enough women to create a beginners division and a competitive division while developing skill, teamwork, and eventually a competive travelling tournament team that represents our city.

You should tell the women that they should not be nervous about the playing games because is just like a meeting with people playing with you

You could try hosting some ‘Corporate events’ for employers with the right profile (ie young female employees), but don’t puash too hard, make the event a day out first and an invitation to get involved in football second. Some will get bitten.

Offer a league/division where teams only have to commit to a few games at first, say 1 a month..
