The session, organised by Halifax Friendly Football Club, was first launched in May 2021 with 11 women taking part.

This now averages around 32 per week with two six-a-side games played at once, facilitated by experienced and qualified coaches Ryan West, Patrick Cooling and David Kinnald, who set up what is now known as HFFC in 2002.
