First LEGO x Aston Villa 'Play Unstoppable' workshops now available to book

Aston Villa Women has confirmed the details of its first workshop in partnership with the LEGO Group, including how to reserve a spot.

The LEGO Group first announced its 'Play Unstoppable' campaign back in June, highlighting its goals to empower girls and young women. Part of this campaign is the 'Unstoppable FC' initiative, which aims to teach girls self-belief, resilience and other practical skills. Four top football players, England’s Beth Mead, Rachel Daly and Lauren Hemp, and Australia’s Sam Kerr, will all take part in the initiative, leading workshops for young girls in collaboration with Women’s Super League teams like Arsenal WFC, Aston Villa WFC and Chelsea FC Women throughout autumn.

The first of these has now been confirmed at Aston Villa, taking place on September 14 at 5pm at Brookvale Academy, Witton Road, Birmingham. It will invite girls aged between seven and nine to take part in a coaching clinic that is co-hosted by Lioness Rachel Daly.

"At The LEGO Group, we’re committed to breaking down barriers to play," said Isabel Graham, Head of Marketing at the LEGO Group. "Our research shows learning to recover from setbacks is key to helping children achieve their potential, so we’re excited to be offering a number of different ways to help young girls learn confidence and resilience through ‘Unstoppable FC'.

"The amazing success of the Lionesses throughout the FIFA World Cup is a great example of what women and girls can achieve when they break down barriers to play. We’re excited to be offering a number of different ways to help young girls learn confidence and resilience through ‘Unstoppable FC'."

Places are limited to 65 so if you want your child to take part, you're advised to sign up soon via the Aston Villa website. The latest day to sign up is September 10.
