SATELLITE – FEmales only

Girls only. A pathway to the future.

ABOUT BRISTOL CITY CP SATELLITE TEAM

The Bristol City CP Satellite is our dedicated girls’ football programme, giving young female players with cerebral palsy the opportunity to play, develop and fall in love with football.

Launched in 2024, the Satellite has quickly become an important part of Bristol City CP. The team has created a welcoming and supportive environment where girls can develop their football skills, grow in confidence and, most importantly, have fun playing the game they love.

Training includes football drills, game-based skills, communication, balance, coordination and confidence, with sessions designed to suit players of different abilities and experience levels. The girls also benefit from the support and encouragement of the wider Bristol City CP family.

Inspiring Young Female CP Footballers

The Satellite is about much more than learning football skills. The girls have developed strong friendships and a real sense of belonging, supporting and encouraging each other both on and off the pitch.

It is also creating opportunities that didn’t previously exist for many young female CP players. CP Sport is working with clubs across the country to develop female CP football, with Bristol City CP one of the organisations helping to lead the way.

The pathway is already beginning to make an impact. In 2025, players from the Bristol City female satellite centre progressed into the National CP Development Squad, highlighting the potential for the programme to help players progress towards higher levels of the game.

THE FUTURE IS FEMALE

The ambition for the Satellite is simple — more girls playing football, more opportunities to compete and more players believing that football can be part of their future.

From the first kick of a football to dreams of representing England, the Bristol City CP Satellite is helping to create a pathway for the next generation of female CP footballers.

Play together. Grow together. Dream bigger.
