England women's international Kelly Smith MBE is backing a new small sided football league exclusively for ladies that is being launched in Northampton.
Ladies Leagues are looking for teams to enter the six-a-side competition which will be held at Kingsthorpe's Unity College on Monday evenings from 6-9pm.
Teams will play a half hour game in the fully FA affiliated competition each week and match costs are £3 per player per week.
Divisional winners will receive free kits and entry into the first ever UK Women's National Cup while runners-up receive top quality individual trophies and there is also a top goalscorer competition.
Smith said: "It is great to see someone trying to get more ladies involved in competitive football.
"I grew up playing small-sided football, it's a great way to improve your technique and fitness and the leagues will give ladies the chance to do that.
"It really is easy to get five or six friends together to take part so this is a great opportunity for local ladies to get involved in the game."
Anyone interested in taking part can either contact Kylie at Ladies Leagues on 0845 0745709 for more information or teams can register online at www.ladiesleagues.com.
