Sporting Champions are delighted to say today that we have signed up five of the England Women's Football Team. Jill Scott (midfielder), Alex Scott (full back/midfielder), Siobhan Chamberlain (goalkeeper), Lianne Sanderson (forward) and Rachel Brown (goalkeeper) join Sue Smith and Lindsay Johnson who have been Champions for a few years.
Hope Powell, FA National Women's Coach said: "The FA see a partnership between the England Women's team and Sporting Champions as being a natural fit.
"Girls' and women's football is the number one female participation sport in England but numerous recent studies have shown that females do not do enough regular exercise, whilst childhood obesity is a real hot topic of late.
"With five of the England team signing up to work with Sporting Champions, going into communities as role models, hopefully they will inspire more young girls to get active, and who knows, maybe end up pulling on The Three Lions shirt themselves one day."
