'PowHER'

New Program Alert!!

The Russell Soccer Club is committed to providing female focussed development for our players. 

After a successful pilot project this spring (2026), we are excited to introduce this NEW program for our female athletes this upcoming winter called “PowHER”.

“PowHER” is a developmental program that will be offered to players between the ages of U10 to U16 and be open to all skills levels. This program is aimed to empower girls to find strength through soccer, while being coached by women - a place where girls are able to uplift each other. 

Our program coaches are women who are passionate about the sport and want to provide that same passion to the young girls in their community.

Statistics indicate a significant gender disparity in sport participation, with approximately one in three girls discontinuing their involvement by late adolescence, compared with only one in ten boys.  Several factors may contribute to this statistic, including low self-confidence, negative body image, and perceived skill deficits. 

This program is set on changing these statistics, while starting the positive changes at a much younger age group.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION!
