What our Players say
“I chose Exeter College because of the football and the course options, especially with the academy linking to Exeter City with that pathway into women’s football. It goes with my course well, it’s timetabled so I never miss one or the other. It’s a great place to be with great coaches and great teachers as well.”
– Connie
“It’s a really good programme. We’re training 4 times a week and have matches every Wednesday and I’m really enjoying the course at College. There’s a lot of opportunities here. We are developing and practicing all our skills and then I can take that into the women’s team where I can develop them even more.”
– Esme
